Description
I purchased this dining set in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. Set was purchased from NYC Wanamaker’s Dept store in 1915 for $1,000 ($26k in today’s money). Its the Life Time Furniture line from Grand Rapids Bookcase & Chair Co. (see sticker). Within that company, I have learned, known designers like Stickley had their own furniture lines. It’s probably not groundbreaking but the design does have merit and what is really unique is that I have the ENTIRE SET! have been told its a repro of hepplewhite? or Federal? So the set is a dining table, 6 chairs, a buffet, a server and a china cabinet. All pieces are set on tiny casters except the chairs. Set was in same family (3 generations) until i purchased it a month ago. thanks again! Mark
