Hey eveyone. First off, I'd like to thank you for your time. I'm just curious if anyone knows approximately what era this table is from, and/or how much it may be worth when in prime condition. I have been doing some refurbishing on it, and it appears to be pretty old so I am curious now. Thanks again!

Can`t really get a view for size,,is this a dining type table ??
-
Hi & welcome!
Can you please indicate the size of the item. Also post a picture of the underside. Do the ends under the top extend or open out?
-
It was put together with nails and flathead screws if that helps at all. It also has 2 extension leaves and 6 matching chairs.

Its probably about 4'x6' with the 2 leaves in it. Not sure what you are talking about with the second question, hopefully this other picture helps.

Looks like a center pull KC,, most likely late 30`s or 40`s !!

That's called a Pillar table. Or extension table. Circa 1900 to 1920. the leg design, is that of Stickly- Brandt. it was not sold with chairs.

Clarify please,, are the leaves separate or are they built into the table itself !! If the latter,, could certainly be earlier !!

Contradiction you said late 30's early 40's?

Leaves are separate and each side of the table slides away from the middle pillar when you want to extend it. The chairs very well could have been a family addition, but they sure do match well :)

Take a photo of a chair. Would like to see what your talking about. :)
-
So you physically add the leaves after pulling to open the center ?? One more question,, did it ever have casters ?? Would be a hole in the center bottom of table legs !!
-
Hi! Thanks for additional information! To clarify, could you please post a picture of the underside of the table (showing any mechanics/metal work and any imprinted names on them!)
-
That's what I am trying to find out !! Is it an extension table or regular dining table with separate leaves !!
-
Contradiction you said late 30's early 40's?
No contradiction,, I said if it had a mechanical extension could be earlier than what I said !! That's the reason I asked them to clarify !! They said it had two extension leaves,, but did not say if they were incorporated into the table itself or totally separate !!

I usually called that style a "Harvest Table", from the fact that a lot of them were designed to hold a half dozen leaves. Fully extended, they could handle a "threshing crew" when harvest time rolled around.
I can't remember ever getting close to what they had on this one...
