Hello,
My wife’s family had had this table with a matching set of chairs in her family since at least her grandmother’s time (her grandmother inherited it). We do not have any additional information on the table, but would like to ask for help identifying a possible maker and/or time frame it was made.
The table is extendable, with an additional 4 leaves which we also have. I have found no makers mark. All screws are single slot which in my limited experience (avid blacksmith) would date it prior to 1930. Hardware is all brass. Parts seem to be machined or cast, not forged. Table is in what I’d call fair condition but could be refurbished if the forum deems it worth restoring.
we’d be interested in a valuation if that is allowed here, if not I apologize.
thank you for any help!
Sorry, not sure why the photos posted upside down!
That looks exactly like my great aunts chairs but the table top looks refinished. I had the receipt at one time but it was thrown out in moving. John A Dunn Boston Ma chair Manufacturer. His chairs were noted for their sturdy construction and durability. I believe the receipt said 1926 which would make them 97 years old and still very sturdy. The chairs were manufactured at the Gardner Massachusetts plant. He lived to see his plant do a business of $1,000,000 annually.
