1958 Drexel Profile Dining Set with Side Buffet

By TanyaF, 4 January, 2014
Description

This is a 4 chair Drexel Profile Dining Set that I inherited from the original owner, my grandmother, who purchased it in 1958.  The table extends to fit 3 extra leaves that I have stored in felt bags, all in good condition, but in need of polishing.  The table top has always been covered, so it is in fantastic condition, but the legs and chairs have vintage wear, as this set has been lightly used for over 50 years.  With this set comes a matching side buffet that has 3 large drawers, 1 silverware drawer and two cabinets for storage. There are some light knicks and scratches on this piece from moving.  Overall, the set is in good condition. None of the dowels on the chairbacks are broken or loose, none of the legs are cracked or damaged, very sturdy.  The only damage that is concerning is some light chipping on one of the bottom sides of the buffet.  I am on the fence about selling and would like to know it's value in its current condition.  The wood has never been refinished, but I believe the chairs were reapolstered with newer fabric in the 70's or 80's by my grandmother.

Re: 1958 Drexel Profile Dining Set with Side Buffet

Hi - do you still have this table set with the leaves?  If so, would you be willing to sell one or more of the leaves separately?
