<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 600174, member: 37"]Your buffet is typical 40s mahogany Sheraton style. Your table and chairs appear to be later. Maybe 70s or later to my eye. They want to be more Chippendale in style but certainly less refined in design than a period example. Value is not huge but you did get a pretty good deal. </p><p><br /></p><p>We currently have this similar set from the 80s for $2500.00 asking price in our Midwest shop. I think the quality on it is a bit better. It is all mahogany whereas, your chairs appear to be a lesser wood stained to mimic mahogany. It is also a larger set. Table is 8 ft., expands to 12 ft., and has 10 chairs with it. It also has a full set of pads for the top and leaves. However, there is no buffet with it. This is a consignment item so the owner will only get half of whatever it sells for. I doubt this will sell for full price, as we are on week 3 with no takers so far. The half value would be a comparable wholesale price on this. We would probably sell your buffet for $200.00 or so in our shop. You might do better (or worse) in your location. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]177875[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
