help with old furniture ID

[alaskansteve]

This old dining room set was my moms and i'm thinking of selling it but i don't know what style of set it is?? So any of you guys know anything about old furniture? I think my parents bought it in the late 50's or early 60's. It still looks like new, she took great care of it. Table and chairs aslo look like new.Thanks for the help.

I think they call them, buffet hutches.....

Call the gay lookin dudes on Antiques roadshow! They get their panties in a ruffle when they see old furniture!!!!

Steve I'm thinking that the china might be worth more than the hutch. best bet do some research on the company that made them and then hit the auction sites and see what the same kind of pieces are going for. THomT

Dont companies stamp their info on the drawers or some other place inside the hutch? I would pull the drawers out and look on the underside for some kind of company info and start a search from there.

Actually, I think it is from the Ricky Ricardo collection.

See if you can get a hold of someone at The Lubin Gallery or Wm. Doyle Galleries, both in Manhattan. The deal stricktly in antique and vintage furniture.

Late 1950's, early 1960's American manufacturer of a takeoff on the ArtDeco period. The fluted glass panels are a dating element, cabinetry probably made of maple, maybe birch. Beautiful set. Very nice indeed. I'd buy it. High end when it was new, indeed. How does the table separate for the leaves? All wooden slides or are gears involved? Any markings burned into the underside of the table? Any marks on the inside of the center drawer for the buffet?
