Item: Brickwede Drop-Leaf Dining Table with Extension Leaves
Manufacturer: Brickwede Bros. Furniture Co., Marietta, Ohio
Period: Circa 1940s–1960s
Wood: Likely Mahogany veneer or possibly walnut, based on grain and finish in your photos
Style: Federal Revival / Duncan Phyfe inspired
Condition: Fair – structurally sound, with visible surface wear and minor scuffs
Features:

  • Classic lyre-shaped pedestal bases with claw feet
  • Drop-leaf sides and multiple expansion leaves
  • Velvet-lined drawer with original Brickwede tag

Historical Context:
Brickwede Bros. was a respected American furniture maker in Marietta, Ohio, known for producing solid and veneered mahogany pieces with traditional styling, particularly in the mid-20th century. The design of this table reflects a revival of Federal and Empire influences popular in post-war American homes.

Current Value Estimate (2024):

  • Fair Market Value (private sale): $300 – $600
  • Retail (restored or excellent condition): $800 – $1,200
  • Auction Value (as-is): $150 – $400

The value is somewhat modest due to the prevalence of similar mahogany dining sets and changing tastes in formal dining furniture. However, collectors or those restoring mid-century homes may find value in the unique base and builder pedigree.

Recommendations:

  • If Selling: List on Facebook Marketplace, Chairish, or local estate auction houses. Highlight “Brickwede,” the unique lyre pedestal design, and expandable functionality.
  • Professional Appraisal: Recommended if you suspect it may be an early or rare Brickwede piece (e.g., pre-WWII). Otherwise, a furniture dealer’s opinion may suffice.
