An authentic

Tasmanian Blackwood

dining setting

This eight place dining setting

was crafted around 1900 and valued

at somewhere between AUD$1,000-1,700, as is.

Restored the valuer suggested a price tag

of around $7,000-9,000.

It has two removable panels so the setting

can be converted to a cosy 4 or 6 person setting as well.

******

Eventually we received an enquiry

about this setting and got rid of it.

The setting was to be restored by a hobbyist

which meant it was going to take a long time.

and I suspect, very brittle legs.
