Draw Leaf Dining Table and 4 chairs

By kschriml, 2 July, 2011
Description

It's a small wooden dining table with 4 matching chairs.  The table seems to be Spanish Colonial style or Spanish Revival (from my limited knowledge of the styles).  It has a trestle base and two side leafs that slide out and up and to mate with the top.

It has a painted fruit and leaf design along the trestle and an inlay on top.  The inlay seems to be made of a softer wood and it has an orange and red brick design with two yellow square designs and two yellow swastikas.

The chairs are wood with a criss-cross leather strap seat.  The straps are held in place with metal bolts and supported by thick bands of elastic. The same design that is on the table's trestle is also painted on the top rail of the chairs.

There is a small piece of a sticker on the underside of the table.  The sticker looks to have been triangular.  "Grand Rapids, MI" is easily discernible. There is also part of a stock number and a signature.

The table itself is in decent condition.  There are spots in which the finish is worn. And there are about 5 small pinholes in the inlay - my father took a pencil to it when he was a kid.  The chairs are also in decent condition with the exception of the leather straps that have dried out, split and are falling off.

History
It's a dining table that was used by my grandparents up into WWII. Not sure how long they had it before the war started. It went into the attic during WWII and didn't come back down until 1996 when we cleaned out the house after my grandparents died.
