Long Description
After further inspecting this, I found the makers stamp and learned it is a Drexel dining table, and 6 chairs that I inherited and would like to learn more about and find out what it's worth. The table belonged to my great grandmother so I am guessing it must be close to 100 years old! The table has 3 removable leaves and the ends also drop down. It is in excellent condition with very few scratches and also comes with the leather padded table protectors. The 6 chairs with it are in a considerably less than pristine condition compared to the table and have been recently recovered. I also have the China hutch pictured which I'm not sure are made by same company but did also Belong to my great grandmother so may possibly be a set. The chairs were originally covered in a brown and beige striped satin. Could anyone give me more info about these pieces and their value please? Thank you!

The suite is in the Federal…
The suite is in the Federal Revival Style which had a range of popularity Revival first off at the the run up to the Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876 and then again for the mid-1920s right through to the Early to mid-1950s.This suite appears to be one made after World War II. Values last peaked during the 1980s to early 1990s and then fell off. A lot of this type of furniture now is in the auction market and it is difficult to sell for anywhere near what it was going for in the 1980s. Quite often now comparable suites off and sell at auction for under $500.
