Antique Questions Forum / Drexell - drop-leaf, duncan phyfe style table and chairs

« on: October 10, 2013, 04:21:27 pm »

I have a Drexell drop-leaf, duncan phyfe style, dining room table and chairs.  The # on the bottom of the table is 355 38C.  The chairs are marked 454.  Just wondering the value, wood, and age of the table.  It is in good condition for its age but does have knicks where the chairs have rubbed on table legs.  A few scratches here and there but cleans up beautifully.  It has all 3 leaves (12" each), 6 chairs and custom table pads from Cohen Furniture Co.  The pads were mailed in a separate box dated 11/8/1954.   With all leaves and drop ends up, the table measures 8'4"x3'6" , at it's smallest with leaves out and ends dropped 2'10"x3'6".  Seats 10-12 comfortably at its fullest.  In the last 15 years, it has always been covered by pads and a table cloth.  I am looking to sell it.  It is currently our main table and I am concerned the everyday use will damage it.  I would love to find someone to appreciate it and use it but who doesn't have to abuse it with daily use.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
