Grand Rapids Chair Company Table….what is it worth?

We own a Table and Buffet set, the inside top drawer of the Buffet has a sticker that says “Grand Rapids Chair Company” and on the back of the Buffet it has a sticker with the number “800″on it. The table is made out of Cherry wood and it has all six chairs, along with the extra leaf. The slider for the table was made by “Watertown” My parents bough it 22 years ago for 250 dollars and was told it was an antique. You can view pictures of it at Webshots http://community.webshots.com/album/569537759fzaXkq . I have been searching for the value of this set for a while and none have been able to help me or they want to charge a lot of money to appraise the set. Thank you in advance for your help!!
Wow thank you for your response. I am looking into the links and information given…we are moving and it has outlasted 4 kids so my parents want to sell it for a smaller table and chair set. Thank you

These days the Grand Rapids Chair Company makes metal chairs almost exclusively, and the city is home to great steel office furniture makers. Your set is almost surely not an antique in its own right, since no designers ever worked there and the heyday of mfg. was 1880-1910 there. However, it may be a quality REPRODUCTION of an antique set–look for stuff like dovetail joints in the drawers and hardwoods used even on the drawers. Aquinas College is in Grand Rapids, MI, and Dr. Jason Duncan is History chairman there–maybe he can steer you to someone who knows the sources. My partner has a set that’s an 1876 Philadelphia reproduction of an earlier English Victorian set, and it’s been appraised at $40,000–so it’s worth your while. Personally, I hate the damned ugly, heavy stuff–so she isn’t leaving it to me.
