<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 42935, member: 37"]Welcome Veronica! This is a circa 1900 Victorian parlor set. No real historical style to them but a bit of this and that combined. It is of the type often found in the Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Wards catalogs of the day. There may have originally been even more pieces to the set. I can't tell the wood but a lot of these were poplar or birch stained to mimic walnut or mahogany. Not really a sought after style today. I can't imagine it would be worth either the effort or expense of restoration. Do it for yourself if you love them but really not worth it for resale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
