Okay, I probably have just enough information to really frustrate everyone.
Here's the short version: The pieces (that are in pieces!) in the photos belonged to my grandmother who passed away recently. They were destroyed when I was rear-ended by an irresponsible driver. Now I have to make an insurance claim on them.
All that's left are these photos that were taken by a friend while my wife and I were hospitalized after the accident. The salvage company and/or insurance company disposed of the wrecked pieces before we had a chance to recover them.
I believe I've identified the table as a Duncan Phyfe Drop Leaf Table with Brass Paw Feet. Circa 1930.
The chair I'm a little more sketchy on. The seat, back, arms, and spindles all seem to be in line with the style of a Boston Rocker. However, the chair was not painted, but had a natural finish. How unusual is it to find an unpainted Boston Rocker?
Trying to put a value on them is giving me a migraine. They don't seem particularly rare or valuable, and I seriously doubt I'm going to get anywhere with a "sentimental value" argument.
Any feedback on my identification of these pieces would be most appreciated. And if anyone has had experience dealing with insurance companies on claims like this, I'd appreciate your insight.
Best,
Bill
