[QUOTE="mr2real, post: 64981, member: 277"]This is a new vendor at a local flea market. I typically don't find much MCM or antique furniture. I haven't purchased any of these item, I've only taken photos to research. I assumed the coffee table would be easy to ID given a specific patent date Dec 16th 1884. I've search for a few hours now and still can't find anything. I didn't see the patent mark myself, it might have been on the bottom of the cast iron arm. Could the two legs have been repurposed for the table? I searched the sold listings on liveauctioneers and couldn't believe the amount of coffee tables that sold for 5 figures. I didn't see any marks on the three chairs. Underneath the chairs was a wood bottom that looked old. The little fold up table was marked Mahogany on the tag (I don't even know my wood types). Any thoughts about these pieces age, origin, or makers is greatly appreciated.
