The reason for me writing is, after viewing your website, I realize that what I have sounds nothing like what you describe, or what I see in the photos. Our set is heavy and bulky, much more simplistic, and the chair handle/cutouts in the backrest are almost crescent moon shaped...nothing ornate at all. I guess you could say that the legs are spindled, but not delicate spindles. There are "pegs" at some junctions on the chairs, and the top of the buffet/highboy. As far as the age of this set, when we bought the furniture, we were told that it was approximately 40 to 45 years old. We have no way of confirming this information any longer, as the original owner is now deceased, but if true, this would mean our set was built in the mid to late 1940's.
Chris says that she would be willing to sell these pieces as pictured below. She says they have been subjected to everyday use and are in good tho not pristine condition.She has had them since 1987. You may contact her at tn2serley@djis.net
