Antique Questions Forum / Antique Dining Set HELP PLEASE..

« on: June 30, 2009, 01:00:09 am »

Hi all just picked this set up today. Need help dating, or any info would be greatly appreciated. Dining table, 5 chairs & buffet table.The chair seats have a cotton pad filled with straw. There were multiple layers of fabric, the bottom one beening the olive green diamond pattern(see photo). I don't know if it's original because the wooden seat had a leather grain pattern "like a football" with a circlular pattern in the center (see photo). Hoping the fluted legs on table & chairs would help identify the maker. Wood similar to Walnut "not sure". Hardware on the buffet table is stamped 082 on the back. That is the only markings on the intire set. I bought this to refinish and use myself, but I'd feel awful if I ruined a antique.
