Timeless, elegant and very solid, this dining room set is GORGEOUS!
The table is a traditional double pedestal design made of solid wood – none of that fake particle board stuff. Without the 3 leaves, it readily seats 6.
Beautifully crafted and supported by detailed double pedestals, the table features three expandable 15″ leaves and pairs exquisitely with its matching upholstered chairs. Perfect for gatherings and entertaining, this set is ideal for elegant formal dining, as well as everyday, more practical “boardinghouse reach” meals with the family.
Definition of “boardinghouse reach”:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/boardinghouse-reach
Reaching across fellow diners for food instead of asking them to pass it. For example, At holiday meals when the whole family is gathered, Dad always scolds at least one child for his boardinghouse reach. This term alludes to the formerly common boardinghouse practice of seating all the residents at one large table and to the rudeness of those who simply reached across others to help themselves. Heard less often today, it is not quite obsolete. [c. 1900 ]

Saturday, Dec 12 – 11:00-5:00
Sunday, Dec 13 – 12:00-4:00
Our hours do unfortunately vary depending on the demands of our day jobs (Linda is a social worker, and John is the post press supervisor at the local newspaper), whether we are exhibiting at a show (rare nowadays), or are attending an auction we just don’t want to miss! If you are coming from a distance, your best bet may be to call us first to make sure we’ll be there, or to make an appointment. We do try to post our hours each day on the shop’s door, and on this blog.

Message re Our Products:
Most of the items we offer are vintage, antique or simply pre-owned. Therefore, reasonable wear & tear is to be expected, and our items are sold as seen and as described in the photos and/or in person.
We try to describe any damage, nicks, blemishes or other problems of which we are aware in any and all of our listings, and always include plenty of clear photographs which are integral to the description, so please review them closely.
Also, please be aware that vintage and antique items are unlikely to be in factory condition, so if you aren’t used to buying antique or vintage items – and are in fact looking for a pristine, unused item – a new reproduction may be better suited for you.
We ordinarily do not “clean up” items because such cleaning may detract from their value.
We are specific and honest in our descriptions because we want happy buyers who will return and/or refer their friends!
