I have a drexel Heritage table and I'm trying to find out a value for it. It was made in 58 and its a mahogany color with a round center piece in the center made of black glass or something. It has 4 arm chairs with leather seats and wood backing. The table is 24 inches to the top from the floor and the chairs fit underneath. My grandmother told me that grandpa used the table in his cigar room and played poker and board games with his friends. Does anyone know where I can see a photo or copy of this set and get a value for it. It's in great condition.
Is this a troll? I think...
Is this a troll? I think one would need to be somewhat clairvoyant to identify this table based on the above. Drexel made thousands of pieces of furniture and in this case picture is worth a thousand words.
Sure it's 24" high? I'm having a hard time with a table that low and chair fitting under such that anyone could sit.
As far as value, condition, location, and desire will drive this; check ebay, classified sites like CL or what you have locally, and local resale shops to get an idea.

Maybe I spoke too soon. Check this site which list the 1960 catalog and see if your table is there, or one quite similar. Another place to look for photos are advertisements from the better known magazines of the time.

Not exactly Drexel
Your table is Heritage, which was acquired by Drexel in the 1950s but operated separately until the 1970s. You won't find anything about your table by searching for info on Drexel.
That said, there is some info here and there about Heritage (not nearly as much as Drexel, unfortunately). Hope this helps.
