I just bought this dining set from Craigslist and I am interested to learn more about it. While value is obviously interesting to know I am more interested in age and other details. I was told that it was purchased at a barn sale in 1978 from an elderly lady that said she received it as a wedding gift (don't know when). It's in pretty good shape and the table has a pop-up leaf. It appears to be burled walnut on the top...not sure about the legs. Speaking of the legs, they are shaped in an interesting way. I'm not well-versed in antiques...I just bought it because I thought it was nice and it was only $125 for the set. If anyone has any opinions on the piece I would love to hear them. Based on a little research I am leaning towards 1930's due to the Art Deco look of it. Thanks everyone!

Can you take a pic of the underside of the table ?? Don`t think its that old but will help to see underside !!
I think more mid 40`s to 50`s !!

Nice set! I'd (more or less) line up with Mart and say late 1940s.
Very handsome, and a bargain at the price you paid.

Its a very nice set and well worth that or a bit more !!

Looking at those legs...i,d say it could be Art Deco...or the tail end of the period...one things for sure...this set would,nt end up in my woodburner....

I would think that it was earlier except for the pop up leaf !! Dont remember those til close to 1950 !! Of course,, I may be wrong !!

Chairs say late deco too.
Nice set that. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a fairly well known make.
