I have just had this set of furniture restored. It was in pretty sad condition when I found it. (See final photo) It had been sitting neglected in an unheated cottage for a number of years I sent photos to one restorer who said it was Northwind but the faces on the chairs don't look like other examples I have seen of Northwind. So if anyone can tell me what it is I would be most appreciative. I eventually found a restorer I was happy with locally. One of the chairs is an odd ball and I don't know what pattern it is either. A rung on one of the chairs was missing and had to be replaced. It is a five legged table. There were some serious cracks in 2 of the legs which have been filled. There are 6 leaves. Again, 5 are the same and one has a different backing. I intend to keep it as it belonged to a dear old friend who I am sure will be happy to have me love it but I would like to know it's value. Any help anyone can give would be most appreciated.
