Subject: Stickley table

Question
We have a table and one arm chair that went with the table. The chair has the "Quaint Furniture" tag. The table is a 44" round table with an octagon base and octagon pedestal. The leaves were designed to go around the outside of the table and rest on pull-out arms (2 leaves). Naturally the leaves have long disappeared. Could the leaves be made or available today from somewhere? Also, where would we find out the value of the table?

Answer
Vance - The missing leaves can certainly be reproduced. If you can send me some photos of the table I will be happy to tell you what I can. You can send clear photos to me as .jpg files at info@furnituredetective.com. Please send the photos directly to me as .jpg files. DO NOT put them in an online photo album. Be sure to include a copy of your original inquiry so I can match them up or I will not respond.
Thanks
