Imperial Furniture Shops dining table
« on: June 19, 2003, 04:36:04 pm »
I have a drop leaf expandable dining table that is made by Imperial Furniture Shops Inc. out of Grand Rapids Michigan. It is made of (I believe) mahogany wood and folds down to the table top size of 20"X40", or with the leaves up is 58"x 40", and by popping up an additional self storing leaf goes to the full size of 72"x40".
The spindled legs and braces (8 legs total) are set up to have 2 of the leg sets pivot outwards to support the table when expanded and fold in when closed to smallest size. It has the companies green shield symbol on the underside of the table as well as a metal plate attached that says Grand Rapid Michigan. The #1489 is stamped on an unstained spot on the bottom.

Does anyone have an idea of the value or what web site I would go to in order to get a price for this item?

Thanks for your help.

Hi There. I was doing a search and came across your post. I have a similar table, but it is marked 832. Were you able to find anything out? If so, if you could share your info, I would greatly appreciate it. It was my great grandmothers, and I have 6 chairs that go with it. They also have the labels on them.
