Tina asks: Hi,

When recently cleaning out my in-laws home we came across some furniture that belonged to my husband's grandmother. It is a Stickley dining table and 4 chairs.

We have researched enough to know that it's from the Stickley sons but couldn't get much further than that. I am attaching several photos of the table and the chairs including the markings on the underside of each.

The pieces are in good condition with the exception of some wear on the seat of one of the chairs. I don't have a photo showing this but the table has sides that fold down. I appreciate your help in determining the value of these pieces so that we can figure out how to sell them.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Tina

Care and storage tips: With any jointed furniture, such as your chairs, it's best to go easy with furniture polish, it can get into the joints and loosen them. Old English scratch cover is great for covering scuff marks or dry spots, but do not use it if you plan to refinish a surface.
