Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
These chairs are very old looking. They have a sun face at the top and hearts and other carvings in them. I think that they are fertility chairs from a long time ago. Every time a female sits in them, around 3 weeks later, she is pregnant. Don't know much more about them. That is why I am trying to find out more about them. I might consider selling them. There are 2 chairs.

Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
Oak dining table and 4 chairs. Metal plate on table base, under removable table top reads, "FH Marshall & Co Ltd". Serial# 132384, Mfg in Scotland. The oak leafs slide in and out. The chairs had been recovered by the previous owner. One chair had been repaired at the top. I'm thinking about giving this item to charity, but wanted to first check it's possible value. However, I would sell it if someone is interested. Thank you.

Rockford furniture company
Date Period (Estimated date of item if known):
Size and dimensions of this item:
65" w x 36" h x 21" d (buffet); 6'h x 3'w x 16"d(tall cab.) 62"/74"Lx42"wx30"h
History:
Parents bought it in 1950s but not sure if they bought it new or not
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
This buffet is part of a set including a table and six chairs (2 with arms; 4 without arms) and a tall cabinet with glass doors. It has a veneer of what I believe is crotch mahogany. The drawers are all dove-tailed. There is a curve in the cabinet. It has a sticker marked "Rockford Furniture Company" on the top/middle drawer. The hardware is all original as is the finish (except for the top which was re-finished about 20 years ago). There are a few minor scratches on the bottom panel of the buffet but other than that it is in good condition. The table and chairs are in pretty good condition aside from some marks on the tabletop and one of the chairs has a piece of veneer chipped off. The chairs have been stained slightly darker than the other pieces to match the darker tw0-tone of the mahogany. The tall cabinet is in very good condition. It also has a curved bottom to it and dove-tailed joints in the drawer. Hardware and finish is original on this piece.
