Re: Antique cherry living room set
Your set is not actually cherry, it's maple or birch with a mahogany dye stain. It's in the Empire Revival style, they were made during the first quarter of the 20th century. We've had quite afew like this set over the years through here. Here's a link to posts about Empire Revival pieces:
