American-made, probably from Michigan where it was found. Grand Rapids is known as the furniture capitol of the world for good reason and fine furniture was and is made all over the state.

The set certainly dates to the 1930s but I wouldn't call it Art Deco which is typified by geometric forms--under the paint it is a fairly typical set of 20C repro furniture that is quite traditional, note the roman columns at the corners.

History Of The Item: The set has a romantic-classical-revival feel to it -marbelized surface and roman
columns decorated with strands of spring flowers. The stained glass windows are more of medieval-revival motif but consistency is not this set's strong suit. Sets like this are what I call 'somebody's baby' by which I mean some designer put a lot of effort into coming up with this delightful decorative motif and it must have taken some effort to convince the maker to produce it. The other scenario is that it was special ordered by someone, however, the underlying pieces are typical of standard
production furniture.

Appraiser Comments: A wonderful set, I'll probably never see another one like it. Your acquisition price was reasonable and you shouldn't have any problem selling it for more but the veneer problems (see photo) will keep the price below about twenty-two hundred. The veneer can be glued back down without harming the paint if done carefully.
