Vintage 1994 Drexel Heritage āSignetā Glass Top Dining Room or Occasional Table w/5 Arm Chairs
Drexel Heritage produced this 'Signet' Dining Room or Occasional Table Collection from 1992 until 1998. This set was purchased in 1994.
This Drexel Heritage Dining table has a round, hammered wrought iron table base (178-057), with decorative fret work and scrolls in a beautiful and classic leaf and vine pattern. It has a smooth-to-the-touch texture, and the Pewter finish is a gray-black color antiqued in soft warm dry brushing.
The Drexel Heritage wrought iron base is topped with a 50ā round piece of Ā½ā thick, beveled glass and stands 29ā high.
This Drexel Heritage 'Signet' dining set has five Arm Chairs (178-058), also in the pewter finish: 21ā wide x 24ā deep x 40ā high. The seat cushions are held in place with four screws, and it would be very easy to change the fabric on the cushions.
The wrought iron pieces are in mint condition, but the glass top has some scratches.

This pendant is 2.75" x 1.75" it is two sided. On one side is a portrait of a woman sitting, she is wearing a puufy sleeved black dress and a very ornate lace 'bonnet' and neck covering. She is holding a book. The artwork when looked at under magnification is amazing in detail. On the other side of the pendant it is predominently gold with a large oval stone in the center. Silver rope details accent the perimeter of the pendant as well as around the stone.
I believe that this pendant would have been worn by a man with the portrait facing his heart. This is a very old piece that has been passed down from generation to generation. I would love to know the age of the piece and any and all information you can provide me with... I have done extensive research and cannot find anything remotely similar, so I have no idea of the value either...
