I'm looking to sell a dining room set. It is old and I picked ot up in a second hand store in RI about 16 Years ago. It consists of a pedastal table (sans extra leaf) a breakfront with a mirror and 5 chairs one of which is what I think is reffered to as a "Captains Chair" the chairs have stickers on the bottom that say "John A. Dunn Company -- Chairs and Rattan Products Established 1839 Incorporated 1902 39 Chapel ST. Newton MASS." the stickers are round and green and white in color. There is a space for a number "No." but the numbers are all faded. I didn't find any stickers on the tabel nor break-front, but the wood and color of the the chairs are exact matches which makes me think that it was all origionaly sold as a set. I'm not an expert on woods but I was told by a carpenter that it is Russian Oak (if there is such a thing). The seats are upholstered in black leather which is kind of dry. The chairs are kind of shaky and one has some damage to the back.
I would like to sell the set because I'm not an antique collector and I think I should sell it before my kids destroy it and it has no value at all.
Re: Looking to Sell Dining Room Set
A lot of value depends on the style and condition of the set, if you could post some images of thw whole set i could give you a better ied as to waht you have and a good asking price.
