Drexel Heritage Dining Room Set 1976

By jdhfurniture, 1 July, 2013
Description

1976 Drexel Heritage Dining Room Set: Table is measures 61" X 41" with leaf (41X41 without). 4 Cane back chairs (2 with arms, 2 without), brushed leather (I think) seat cushions. The set is in good condition. Some minor scratches - normal wear and tear for a 37 year old table. The leg of one of the chairs has some scratches (from my dog). This is the only major flaw that I think couldn't be largely fixed with some polish and wax. Also, the leather of the seat cushions would benefit from a cleaning (or the cushions could be recovered).

This is a table that my parents purchased new in 1976 and was later given to me. My fiancee and I now have another set and no room to store this one. I believe that the set could be very saleable for a dealer with some TLC and elbow grease (even more so if it was completely refinished). Unfortunately, I don't have the experience or time to do it myself. Even without a complete overhaul, an hour of wax and polish - which I may end up doing myself - would make this a nice set for someone.

Thanks in advance for any insights you may have!

History
This is a table that my parents purchased new in 1976 and was given to me when I got my first apartment. My fiancee and I now have another set and no room to store this one. I believe that the set could be very saleable for a dealer with some TLC and elbow grease (even more so if it was completely refinished). Unfortunately, I don't have the experience or time to do it myself. Even without a complete overhaul, an hour of wax and polish - which I may end up doing myself - would make this a nice set for someone.
