Title: Breakfast Table
Post by: Triciahm on March 09, 2004, 02:08:35 PM

My mother recentyly purchased a southern figured cherry breakfast table... We had some questions about value.  It has the orginal castors, circa 1820 and in good condition.  What is an approximate value?  Also, what makes the wood "southern figured"  We are not familiar with what that means.
Thanks for any help!!!
