<p>[QUOTE="Caroline Frommhold, post: 4128250, member: 20492"][ATTACH=full]331329[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]331330[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]331331[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]331332[/ATTACH] Hello. I have a Berkey & Gay dining table that doesn't seem to fit any of the photos I have found online for the company. The Grand Rapids Public Museum has referred me to the GR Public Library in the hopes they might have catalogues for pieces made in earlier years. I am waiting on feedback. Here is what I know: Berkey & Gay logo is branded, so I understand this to predate 1900 based on something I found earlier today; table is round (not seeing many of these), solid mahogany, lots of amazing inlay (Federal style), Model/Suite/Style number is 1855 (ironically or on purpose?), table is 5' in diameter, and has 5 leaves (each numbered) extending it to over 9'. In my childhood this table was covered in a thick varnish, but a beautiful table was reborn when mom had it refinished. See photos. Thank you for any information you can provide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
