Walter of Wabash (?) table and chairs
22 March 2018
Description

Size: 6’x3.5’ up to possible size of 8’x3.5’ (with 2 additional leaves). Slightly scratched.

Provenance

A wealthy man in Canada got divorced and was selling all of his estate. He said he paid $30,000 for this table and chairs and hutch (which we don’t have) when he bought it. So we thought it was worth getting appraised. Thank you.

What does this mean?

This is a 20th century dining table and chair set. The dining table expands and has two cup and cover form thick pedestal columns on tri-form American Empire Revival style bases. There is a Walter of Wabash mark on the table, however the Walter of Wabash mark is for the patented slide mechanism that is built in to the table to allow it to expand. Thus, the maker of the table and the chairs is unknown unless another mark, label or tag is found on any of the pieces. The chairs themselves are done in a slight interpretation of Renaissance Revival style, however they could date to as late as the 1970's.
The estimate is for the table and chairs together and is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
