Claw Foot Table and chairs

Category
American Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

We inherited this claw foot table and 4 chairs from my dad who inherited it from his parents.  Not really sure how old it is, but am guessing it is from the 1940's or earlier.

The first two pictures are before I cleaned it up--still in my dad's house.  The table is in good condition--does have a few cracks in the edge veneer on the table.  The table does split for leaves, but we don't have those.

Would like to sell it as really don't have room for it, but not sure how much it would be worth.

Please advise.

Was giving the following statue about 10 years ago and obtained by my brother as a gift in Honduras about 20 years ago. The statue is about 13 inches tall and weighs about 5 to 10 pounds give or take. Did some research on the item and i was told this resembles ITzamna. Not sure if would want to sell either but really curious about its value.

Condition
Mint
Description

Beautiful original vintage watercolor by famous Chicago artist Edward Walaitis of winter landscape scene. 

 

Edward Walaitis was a self-taught artist whose professional work graced different mediums, from greeting cards to the Chicago Tribune Magazine.

He received many awards for his watercolors, from cityscapes to carousel horses. "He was known for his versatility of subjects," said daughter Maria Walaitis Barrett.

Mr. Walaitis, 91, of New Buffalo, Mich., and formerly of Barrington, who once directed the Tribune's advertising art department, died Friday, Feb. 25, in his home of natural causes.

In the early 1940s he moved to Chicago and worked for Montgomery Ward as an artist. He later did freelance work. In 1945, the year he married his wife, Marcia, Mr. Walaitis joined the advertising art department of the Tribune. He later became its director. He also spent 15 years in the editorial art department.
