I won this set at an estate auction. The set is oak and very heavy consisting of a table, six side chairs and two armchairs. The table is narrow .... 32" and the length is 66" unextended. Both sides extend and when extended the center of the table drops down so all pieces are one level. Each extension is 18". The top actually lifts off and the sides will slide all the way out leaving only the base as one piece. The bulb legs are about 25" round and heavily carved. The chairs are also heavily carved. They originally had cained seats that still exist but a new liftoff seat has been added to cover the caining. Even those liftoff seats appear to be quite old. The backs of the chair have caining in the center. The top of the back has finials and the center has a crown carving. There are also floral carvings and leaves are carved on the arms of the two armchairs. I was unable to find any markings on any pieces. I am not certain that these were originally one set .... they could just be paired up together. All pieces are so heavily carved it is hard to tell. I would love to know the age and value of this set. Although I do love it so that alone is worth the money!!
this is a very tall vase, made by the artist Sascha Brastoff. This vase is an ivory color with birds (I believe they are quails) and bird prints. some of the birds appear to be wearing crowns. this has the "Sascha B" written in gold on the side, and his stamped name with the rooster logo on the bottom. Does anyone know about what this is worth?
This is a heavy Buddha statue given to me by my grandmother. She's had it since the early '70s and aquired it many years before that, so it's quite old.
