Dining Set- Waterfall Art Deco?

By lisazawaski, 19 September, 2012
Description

I was wondering if I could get your input on my Grandmother's Dining set. From my research I think it may be waterfall style? It was purchased most likely in Detroit (I think maybe J.L Hudsons). I had it shipped out to my house in southern california for sentimental value and use more than anything else. I inherited it, it came with a house my grandparents purchased in 1940's, the first owner was a doctor and the house was built in 1926, in what was an exclusive neighborhood in Detroit. I intend on keeping it but wanted to know if I would jeopardize anything by recovering the chairs. From what I have read, the waterfall collection may not be of extreme value; however it is a unique style that I like (I love the heavy legs on the table). I believe it is original finish in good, but used condition. Is it walnut? I also have 6 chairs one with arms. I only attached photos of the table legs, the china cabinet and the buffet which has a golden mirror and some neat red accented handles. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you, Lisa Zawaski

Re: Dining Set- Waterfall Art Deco?

Sets like this date from the mid 1920's through to about the early 1930's when large numbers of American Furniture companies went bankrupt during the Great Depression. They tend to be a mix of Antique European styles along with Art Deco, which gives them their unusual look. The style is not currently in vogue and values tend to be modest even if the sets are in good condition.
