Cool!
Do we just imagine how long it is?
The bidding is at $800 right now. I don’t know shit about furniture, but I’d guess those chairs are worth two bills apiece.
 
Old high back armed chairs, hand carved to the right buyer would be over $500 each... that is on the low end! I am no furniture expert but my step dad buys and re finishes antique chairs. Hard to estimate their age but they look old! Haha

Only draw back on the table is that it is 8 position... at 90" it should fit 10 comfortably... maybe it was laid out for really large people. I would still easily say $1,000 on the table for some older players, they love those wood carved chip trays too!!

Less than $2 grand on that lot in the right place you could make a killing!

Again just an estimate... there is one here that would know better. @kaimat dabs around in older collectibles, any guesses on the value here buddy?
 
I love the chairs... but obviously not enough here... I love the table legs and rail... but ehh not really big on chip trays. I think that is out dated. As classic as that felt is, i would go with something Regal... like a crown and maybe a gold weave pattern... but plain green just don't cut it brother!! But to the right person again this set up is perfect and worth a pile of loot!!

Yeah I assume that they made it an 8 position table so they can fit those oversized chairs around it. The table looks great but I hate those built in chip trays like that. I want my chips in vertical stacks not horizontal but if you don't mind that, then it's a beautiful table. I find that a lot pf people will just avoid the chip trays and stack in front of them instead.

The chairs are nice as well, but a little over the top for a poker table if you ask me. Poker chairs don't need arms and if I was paying up for chairs, I would want them on casters or at least have the seat swivel.
 
Wondering why they didn't rent a Doberman or Great Dane to model in the foreground there... that whole set up is prestigious as F***!

**Warning**... if you purchase this set up, dont NOT!! I MEAN DO NOT!! Invite Brie, my self, @BonScot, @Irish, @BarrieJ3 or @CraigT78 to your game!! Its not going to end well! Lmao sorry
 
The whole thing is a little over the top. I only stayed there once but much of the furniture was French Empire, I think (I’m no expert). I’m sure this thing was up in one of the fancy suites and had to match other furniture. Dated but I guess I am too!

I dunno bud, I think a plain green felt is classic and will never go out of style.

Better scotch-guard it first... :vomit:
 
I’m not sure the chairs are all that valuable. The Waldorf-Astoria got pretty tacky and dated in the past 25-30 years. Some antiques dealers I know in New York refer to this stuff as brown furniture — hard to sell.
