[QUOTE="LuceraMill, post: 236898, member: 4669"]Hello all, I don't know much about antiques but my curiousity has driven me to this board because my fiance and I recently purchased a dining table set and matching hutch for next to nothing that is unusual, to say the least. I've had a lot of people call this a "vampire table" in passing, though upon closer inspection it actually has carved lions and castle turrets, depending on which chair you are looking at. The table also has these lions and turrets when viewed from below, as does the matching cabinet. I have tried to look up the chairs to figure out what time period they are modeled after exactly, if any, and though I can find many high-backed chairs, I can't seem to find the exact style that these model. I love its quirkiness and hope to refinish it and possibly even reupholster it at some point to bring it back to its former glory, however, I have very little to model it on. Any guesses on a time period or style would be helpful in IDing it. Just trying to figure out if its a quirky one-of-a-kind no-particular-style piece, or modeled after anything else. Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]
