The table has rolling gears that pull apart very easily to insert the leaves, I have never seen this in any other table. We purchased the set from a decorators wholesale distributor of fine furniture in 1971 for $4000.Įveryone is quite right, the furniture that is available today can't touch the craftsmanship of theses pieces. It a French style with Louis the 16th styles legs on the chairs. There is also a server side piece with 2 drop side leaves,marble inset in top of main section, 1 slide out drawer inside and one shelf.

The table is 108" plus 2 - 20" leaves, double pedestal with connecting wood between pedestals with a curved shaped oval top the number on the underside is #1571 Six chairs with upholstered seats and backs, the seat is a rounded shape, te number is #105505.
Base is also curved with a base of 2 side doors, 3 center doors all with inside wood shelves and roll out drawers at the top. I have a French style formal dinning room set consisting of one large curved hutch top, 3 glass shelves. I do NOT plan to sell it, but just want to know how good a deal I got at the yard sale! Thanks in advance for any information anyone can provide. Assuming that I do an OK job refinishing it and the two chairs, I am wondering what it might be worth. The table is in very good shape (at least it looks good now that I've got all the paint off it and have completed most of the sanding). Soon after that, they stopped making furniture to support the war effort. I was able to contact one of his relatives and was told that the table was most likely made by the Unique Furniture Co.
So I looked up the patent and found that it is from 1936 and applies to the whole table. I found a patent number (RE 19940) on one of the small metal pieces that makes up the extension mechanism. On the under side of the table, there are stamps that say that the table is solid maple, has a Boone Trail Finish, and is a No 1052 table. I totally disassembled the table, stripped it, and started to refinish it. They are solid maple, but were painted white. I bought a table (with two extensions that slide under the table top) and two chairs at a yard sale for $25.
