<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheFoxRocks, post: 11239337, member: 32985&quot;]Hey guys and gals, </p><p><br /></p><p>I was hoping this community could help me here. This dining room table was permanently setup at my grandmothers house until around the early 2000&#039;s. After that it found it&#039;s way into our basement where it stayed. We do not have a large dining room/kitchen area like my grandmother did. Having that said if I decide to keep it in the family I would have to get rid of the dining room table we have now, which I would definitely consider. Also unfortunately the chairs have been stored in our outside shed in the loft area. There is no telling what kind of condition they are in but they look to be in one piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway as you can see one of the legs is damaged. Unfortunately the leg that broke off is also split down the middle. I was going to attempt to repair it myself but figured I would get some advice here first. Are there people that specialize in repairing antiques like this? Are there furniture shops that could perhaps do a better job than me? I was going to glue the split piece back together, maybe run a couple screws through it and screw it back onto the main piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously I would also like to know what it is and if it has any value. For instance, we only ever sat at this table at my grandmothers for special occasions. It also always had this fold out piece on top of it with another drop cloth. It looks like both of those have seen better days. I never really saw this beautiful glossy finish on the top though and guessing that is because it would get marred up? Should I look at replacing the items that go overtop of the table? Can I replace them? </p><p><br /></p><p>I will leave it at that for now. Again any advice or feedback I get would be greatly appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had trouble uploading the photos. Please click this link that should take you to the album I created. </p><p><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/media/albums/dining-room-table.1500/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/media/albums/dining-room-table.1500/">https://www.antiquers.com/media/albums/dining-room-table.1500/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
