    Hello and thank you in advance for any information that you can share with me for the following Chippendale furniture set. I would like to know the aprox. manufactured period. All I know is that the furniture is from Austria and it’s made out of walnut, with walnut root veneers on the door faces and mahogany shelves. The furniture is inherited from my grandparents who bought it in the late 60’s.

    Also any info regarding the aprox. value would be very useful for me. I am leaving the specs below:


    Buffet cabinet: - h:110 cm, L:260 cm, w:65 cm

    Sideboard cabinet: - h:100 cm, L:125 cm, w: 55 cm

    Cabinet with glass doors: - h:180 cm, L:113 cm, w:42 cm

    Round table: - h:79 cm, diameter: 142 cm

    6 Chairs

    2 Armchairs

    Impressive set, but it is much too chunky to be Chippendale, and made long after Thomas Chippendale.
    That makes sense.
    Beautiful use of the wood.

    The furniture experts will be along later.
    We don't do valuations, prices differ per country and selling venue.

    Think early 20th century (post WWI to 1930s) and really would not call it Chippendale. Sort of a mish-mash of styles, as was the wont from the time period. Can not even hazard a guess of value in Europe. Here in the States, I could see someone asking several thousand dollars but also having a hard time finding a buyer. Very nice set but not so much in fashion right now. Would take someone with a large formal dining room to want it.

    Edit: I could also see this being made post WWII, up through the 50s. Nothing like this would have been made here in the States during this time period but I know styles lingered across the pond. Perhaps someone with better European furniture expertise could give us some insight.

    Very conservative, and gorgeous to boot! I would go with a 1940s date, maybe even 1950s. Thats the golden age of dining room sets, now sadly passed. The book-matched Burl/burr is stunning, much more like late Victorian than mid-(20th) Century.

    I would also go with several thousand $ U.S., at least in my part of the country, but like @verybrad I have no idea about Europe. It would indeed take a specialized buyer, but that person is out there somewhere!
    Beautiful!

    Although I am not an expert on European furniture, I am European and have seen a lot of antique and vintage furniture.

    I said before that Austrian makes sense to me. Germany and other parts of Central Europe are known for sturdy, good quality furniture with a rather heavy look compared to other European styles.
    The style of this set isn't German to my eye, it has less focus on functionality than German furniture of a comparable style. The heavy flamboyance of the decorations looks Austrian to me, as does the use of this very patterned burr wood.
