Belgian Furniture Set

By ckarafa, 26 August, 2015
Description

I have a collection of furniture located in Mechelen, Belgium that my aunt has been using for many years.  She is moving into a senior home now and I am faced with the proposition of either moving it to the united states where I reside, or selling it.   I have family locally in Belgium that can help with this.  

I have included photos of all of the large pieces.  There is one photo per piece.   On the carved wood, my Mother purchased most somewhere around the 1950’s and I believe it to be local Mechelen made.  I cannot tell the wood, well not from here but a family member guessed Walnut.

Included in the dining set are:

Large Table, 2 chairs with arm rests, 4 chairs w/o arm rests, china cabinet, buffet

I also have a coat rack that appears to be similar to the dining set.

Included in the Library are:

A full size library, and secretary piece

I also have two items outside this:

A chandelier, I was always told it is copper but it resembles brass from a color standpoint

A Radio cabinet, really does not match anything but it’s there also.  Presumedly 220V, If of value I will have to have family determine if it works.  Most likely does.

Thank you!
