<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Faceplant247, post: 160396, member: 2617&quot;]Hello - I&#039;m new to the board. My wife&#039;s grandmother passed a few years back and we were given some furniture from her estate. I&#039;ve looked for &quot;makers marks&quot;, but can&#039;t find anything, so I&#039;m hoping someone here can help us identify these pieces - or at least point us in the right direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first piece is a table. We were told it is a civil war era table that was used as a dining table, operating table and church pew. The top is affixed with dowels on the ends. I don&#039;t see any nails. The top can be removed to show a seat underneath. It&#039;s around 8 ft long by 3.5 ft wide. Very light stain - pine?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]43673[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]43674[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The second piece is a hutch - again no makers mark. About 6.5 ft. tall by 3.5 ft wide and 2 ft. deep. I can see large dovetails and square head nails. The back is slatted boards as opposed to a single piece of wood. Dark stain.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]43675[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>These chairs came with the table. No mark. We have 4 of them. I don&#039;t think they are as old as the table. The underside has some interesting craftsmanship.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]43676[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This rocker looks so so old. The rockers are worn almost flat. You can see where it once had gold leaf all over it and a very intricate design. Very dark looking wood/stain.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]43677[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Seriously - any help is very very appreciated with these pieces since we&#039;ve been wondering about their origins for years now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
