Title: Old table and stool set
Post by: foskco3 on November 15, 2012, 02:40:41 PM
Okay, I am looking for as much information on this set as possible. I came across it at a dealers shop down the road from were I live and fell in love with the set.
the tops of all the stools as well as the table are leather and have nice designs on them. I would like to know a rough age for the piece, what it would typically be used for as well as the value. ANY information will be highly appreciated I can't seem to google anything remotely similar. Thank you in advanced for any help you can offer.

I see no stool and with all the legs & such under the bigger table looks like nesting tables to me but can't tell from photos.  The top looks to be a Aztec, Mayan or Inca design.

it may just be a table set, one big and four small, the lady that owns it wasn't really sure.

Well , from the motif on your cool little table , I'd say that it's origins might just be American (mex,cent & so.) ... you got your maize , head loppers , jaguars (etc) & nice decorative bordering .

Can't really tell if the leather top/insert is carved or wet-pressed though , foskco3 .

I'd call this as a chocolate table set (much like a 'tea table') , in my deluded little mind .
