Re: Morganton "Duncan Phyfe" style dining suite
Sets like this one are in the "Federal Style" and were made in very large numbers, just about every furniture maker produced lines like this from the 1920's onward. Values for them are a lot less than one would think, at auction we often see entire suites go for less than $1500.00
