I have this table, 8 chairs and buffet passed down from my grandparents who purchased in new in Eureka, California. I don't know the date of purchase but am guessing in the 1920's. As you can see it is a beautiful set and has served me and my family well for the past 25 years but all the kids are gone and the wife and I are selling the house and downsizing and no siblings or cousins want it! Not sure what to do with it or what it might be worth. I googled the company and it appears they are no longer in business. If anyone knows anything about this piece or the company please let me know. Thanks!

Welcome to CW spieri -
Found bits and pieces of information re: Angelus Furniture. From what I a can understand Angelus more or less disintergrated in the 90's, finally joining the West Coast Living Co.
West Coast is alive and well with stores in California. I looked through their dining room offerings, and they do have some older looking cabinets that are numbered, that possibly are Angelus designs (that's a guess) - however, nothing to lose in getting in touch with West Coast Co. and making enquiries. In the links I've given you there is an article that tells you they became West Coast, or were dissolved into West Coast. Send photographs, especially the one of the back.
There's a link as well to someone else with CW that submitted an enquiry about Angelus furniture.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Gillian - I appreciate your reply and time! I'll give them a call. Cheers!
