United by material honesty and precise woodworking, the set celebrates the warmth of solid pine. The table features a hexagonal top crafted from carefully joined pine planks, warm in tone with rich, visible grain. Chamfered edges lend softness to the angular form, while a brass pedestal base rises beneath in a subtle flare, its fluted, scalloped foot finished with a time-earned patina that grounds the composition. Versatile in scale, the table works comfortably for dining or as a center table in an entryway. The accompanying chairs echo this clarity of construction. Crafted in solid pine, each chair is defined by a tall, open-frame back with angular joinery that feels both structural and decorative. The seats are formed from trapezoidal planks, cut to highlight the natural grain. The warm pine finish reveals decades of age and use, with knots and growth rings lending character throughout. Angular yet inviting, the chairs embody the Nordic ethos of function, craft, and restraint—equally suited for dining or as sculptural accents. Condition: Great vintage condition. The pine top shows light surface wear and minor scratches consistent with age and use. The brass pedestal retains a warm patina, with subtle marks and oxidation throughout. Solid and stable, with all joints secure. The pine chairs shows a warm, even patina throughout with light surface marks and edge wear consistent with age and use. Small edge nicks and minor natural wood splits present, but the structure is sound and stable. Additional Dimensions: Chairs: 20"W x 20"D X 40"H; Seat Height: 17.50" See less
