The cost to refinish one of these tables runs about 900.00 in our shop, plus repairs. I see them sell for 150.00 in shops and auctions 45.00 or less. With a set of chairs you can easily reach over 1800.00 depending on the number of chairs. You can do the same for less if you don't count your time of corse. The Kovel's have a web site that shows antique values, but what you have is a newer version since it is veneered. The best way to see what the market is paying for these items is to go to eBay and watch a few of them sell. The veneer is the thing that gives it all away for this item, some of these tables were made of solid mahogany, which is better, and some are the real McCoy's and they are very valuable indeed.
