It is an item I was asked to help sell. We were asking for $175 for it until I was told it is an antique. I went to this site and found out that it is worth far more even with some need of TLC.
The carvings and style appear to be the Revival Colonial period but it lacks the metal mechanism which makes me feel it is much older. I'd like confirmation on a general period and with it's condition (a table with LOTS of history) how much it could go for.
Hand painted 10 piece set of 9 plates and 1 platter. All are decorated with a fish, some floral designs near the edges, and gold trim on the edges. 3 different types of fish are used, with one type repeated on 3 plates. The back of each plate is signed with F.4. and the number 95, 103, or 122. If anyone has any information about who the artist is, it would be appreciated. The condition is great except some of the gold trim has worn off.
First photo is the table it is unassembled, it was being moved to storage. There are a few scratches or marks on it, but it is in good condition. All the pieces are there to reassemble it. There are also 3 leaves to the table.
Second photo is of one the chairs. There are 5 regular chairs and 1 chair with arms. I believe they have been reupholstered.
