Virginia House Furniture
I have a dining room set/chairs with matching buffet. I am unable to find any information about this set or if it is of any value other than sentimental.

The story goes... Mom 'bought' this furniture set during WW II from a very old lady with ration stamps. To validate the story, when we cleaned it out we found a book of ration stamps!

The wood is very dark, kind of on the black side although the wood grain is easily seen. It would be my idea of black walnut. It is VERY heavy and takes 2 'beefy men' to move the table or buffet. There is one identifiction mark that I have found. There is a wood burning mark stating "Virginia House" and that is all I can find. Unfortunately the furniture is stored at my daughter's house so I do not have photos for viewing. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe Virginia House Furniture was located in Atkins VA....and they were bought by another company in the 90's (google)....
Their stuff is nice and solid,....but are obviously not 'antiques' due to their age.

Best of luck....

I have a Virginia House Maple dresser with a DC-3 Aircraft and two propellers on the front. Likely made in the 40s or 50s.

I have a dresser set with a propeller design over the mirror and the last two handles on both dressers. I am wondering if these could, possibly, be Virginia House Maple. There are three nos. on them. 33 220 and 41.

I live down the road from the place in mention, anyone want to see what it looks like? It looks like a war was fought on it as it's partially demolished. Driving past it to get home, I feel like I'm entering Bosnia or something.
