I inherited my grandparents Drexel Declaration bedroom set (Walnut with white ceramic pulls). I remember it from when I was a kid and still love the design of this timeless style. It is in great condition but is lacking the headboard. From time-to-time I have searched the internet for some images of the headboard but haven’t found anything. I have reasonable woodworking skills and would like to build a headboard to match the original. Does anyone have any info they could share? Color photos would be great.

I just bought a Drexel Declaration round (almost round) table with 2 leaves. I would like to “clean it up” but can’t figure out the best cleaner. it looks like walnut with a shiny finish. Any suggestions?

I just found a Drexel Declaration dining room table (drop leaf) 6 chairs (one is a captain) and a hutch. It is really too big for my space and I am looking to sell all or part of it. I love the china hutch. Any ideas?

Hello,

Congrats on your craigslist find! I’m not too sure what constitutes a good price for these chairs. I was fortunate to find two side chairs for only $16. I would suggest hitting the yard sales and thrift stores. Go to as many thrift stores as possible, several times a week. Ask the thrift stores what day of the week (and time) they bring “new” merchandise out onto the floor. I have found that a lot of antique dealers and re-sellers are like vultures at these thrift stores. They wait in droves while the merchandise is stocked on the shelves or floor. It makes it tough for collectors to get anything. Best of luck in your treasure hunts!

I recently purchased five Drexel Declaration chairs and a round table on craigslist and am hoping to find another captain’s chair (or even just another side chair) to complete the set. Can anyone tell me how hard these are to find? I saw four side chairs (but no arm chair) on ebay for $400+… wondering if this is a good price. (My craigslist find was a steal, so I’m spoiled!) Thank you for any advice you might be able to offer.
