danish modern dining set
« on: November 28, 2011, 06:12:48 pm »
 hello, first post on here.  my uncle recently gave me this dining set that originally belonged to my great aunt and uncle.  they bought it new in the 50's, or early 60's in either kansas or missouri. i believe the (4)chairs, and table legs are solid maple, while the table top is veneered maple.
   i'm thinking the style is danish modern? or maybe mid-century?  i cant find a manufacturer's mark of any kind, although the chairs have consecutive numbers handwritten in crayon on the bottom.  the hinges on the drop leaves say Walter of Wabash. who i guess made the hardware.
    anyone have an idea of who made this set or relative worth?

Well you got the style right !! It is Danish modern or mid century modern and looks to be a nice set !! However it is almost impossible to know who made it unless it is marked on the table at time of manufacture !!  There were so many sets similar to this by hundreds of different companies nationwide that there is just no way to know !! If the numbers are in succession it is likely that is the way they were in the line when made !! Or could have been written by the store that sold the set as in 1,2,3,4 these chairs go with that table and to that buyer !! Would make sure that all was correct at delivery !!

  Thanks for the reply!  the numbers start at 1027, so maybe?

" It is Danish modern or mid century modern and looks to be a nice set !! "
 

the set is very well built, very solid, although the leaves of the table are a little droopy.  easily fixed i'm sure. i also really like the space age styling too.
