i would like info too! I just inherited an dining room waterfall set complete with table leaves, buffet, china cabinet, server and 6 chairs. I am not sure how to decorate with it and I am not really sure I like it! Any help would be appreciated.

I too inherited an art deco bedroom set. Mine has a double bed, 2 night stands, a dresser w/round mirror, vanity with tall mirror & bench, short wardrobe w/ 2 doors & pole for shirts, also a straight chair w/ a seat cushion that matches the vanity bench. Oh yes, the pulls are brass w/bakelite. What have I got?

To find the current market value attend some auctions or contact Auction Houses in your area. They should share with you recent prices achieved for perhaps similar pieces. Visiting antique dealers and seeing similar pieces will give you an idea of the current retail value.

i love art deco and art nouveau style furniture. the waterfall pieces are especially beautiful in my eyes. if you don't like what you have, perhaps i can take it off your hands. i don't have tons of money, but i do have tons of space and a truck.

I bought a five piece art deco bedroom suit at an estate auction for only $25. The meter maid saw it and said something about it being a waterfall but i wasn't at home and my mother-in-law doesn't remember what she said it was. I am wanting to find out exactly what it is i bought. it is a single bed, vanity table with mirrow along with a chair, one large dresser, and another dresser that on one side has a mirror that opens up where you can hang clothes in it. all of the pieces have the same design on the top. does anyone know what i might be talking about.

I have a Art Deco waterfall dining room table and buffet that are in relatively good condition. I am curious to find out what it is worth.
