Resources for Finding an Antique Dining Room Set
Comments (9)Victoriandream, Yikes, I just spotted a very similar set in my travels last weekend, even prettier than that one (same dimensions and pieces tho)The set I saw had beautiful inlay , and the price for the whole set was 1200.00!!! I thought it was a good price, but this was in a thrift shop in a depressed area, not the kind of place you could contact and have it shipped, a shame...I d start estate saling, visiting antiques shows, I m sure you ll find something with a little patience..I would think if you found something online, the shipping would be way too expensive......See MoreInfo about my Antique Dining Room Set

Comments (36)Old thread, just wanted to add: There were radios built into tables, in particular the Atwater Kent 55 or 60 model built into a 6-sided table in about 1929 by Kiel furniture co. However the table had to have quite a bit of space (6") vertically inside to hold all the bulky electronics. I'm not sure how this one is put together but I doubt a radio of that era would fit under the average dining room table. If they did, the controls would have been on the side or top, not underneath. The Atwater Kent had a small hinged door on one side that flipped down to reveal the tuning dial and knobs. What you have there is called an escutcheon or dial plate, btw. I'm thinking they used it to repair or shim something. However if you find odd bolt holes that no longer hold anything, it's possible......See MoreAntique Dining Room Set question
Comments (0)I was recently given a dining room set that was left in a home purchased. We do not have any information on it, other than what is painted on the bottom of the table top. There is a silver plate on the base of the dining room table that says "Silver Radio" and has an oval like cut out. It does not seem to mount to anything, and we do not know the purpose of it. Also, on the bottom of the table top it has "Paoli Furniture Co., 561 Jiranek" I have attached a pic of the base of the table & have more pics of different pieces. The chairs are in horrible shape & I will need to find other ones to use. Any information that anyone may be able to give me would be GREATLY appreciated....See MoreMimi T
