When you are moving furniture or other goods from one place to another you probably want the services of a moving company that not only delivers on time but ensures the safety of the furniture.

If you looking for a shipping and moving company then check International Company New York, they offer all kinds of services.

I have almost the same table and chairs. I purchased them from an antique store in Albany Oregon over 20 years ago. The only difference that I can see is that my tables corners are angled. The chairs have three sets of fabric on them. I was advised that this table was from 1919 and while doing research on them I have lost the tag. I have the table and five chairs. From the research that I did, the company closed in the early 1930's and I could not find much information on them. The store that I purchased the set from said that the were circa 1919. I have pictures of them as I want to sell them. If you had more response than you needed, please send them my way as I am looking at selling the set.
