The set includes 10 Mid Century French Louis XVI Mutton Leg Side Shield Back Dining Chairs and a Custom Glass-Top Table.

The glass top dining table and custom-built base is in excellent condition. The chairs were also hand-built. They are clean, and paint and wood for all chairs is in good vintage condition. The chair frames are strong and stable. The leather seats are original, so there are signs of age with creases in the leather. The chairs are painted creme with carved rosette in the chair legs, with silver painted accents. The upholstered chair backs with gold bee embroidery were recently reupholstered (in 17th-century furniture, bees symbolized luxury.)

History: This dining set was a gift from a (very wealthy) relative. While I do not know the manufacturer or exact year that this set was purchased, I assume the chairs were custom ordered as a Mid Century French Louis XVI replica in the 60’s. I believe the chairs were purchased from the original furniture designer in New York, LA or Beverly Hills. The oval glass top table and base was custom built to match the chairs.

The chairs are standard size dining chairs. They are 37.5” high (floor to top of chair back), and the seats are 20.5” wide and 17.5” deep.

The glass dining table seats 8 comfortably or 10 snugly.

The table is 84” long, 45” wide, 30” high, including 3 / 4” thick tempered glass.

I would consider selling the chairs and table separately, but preference is to sell together as the set matches beautifully.
