The set is complete with a remarkable dining table that comes with the original padded table protectors and six Chippendale style dining room chairs. The entire set has been extremely well cared for and has remained in excellent condition. Each of the six chairs is fitted with drop-in upholstered seat covered in a lovely pink fabric. The beauty of the drop-in style seat is that any desire to recover the seats is made much easier and less costly should that ever become a consideration. The chairs are all built from a premium selection of mahogany lumber and constructed with respect to the highest standards of furniture design. Each chair has a finely carved and well articulated crest rail over a ribbon carved chair splat that is both refined in style yet quite strong for regular use. The chairs have traditional Marlborough straight legs and splayed rear legs along with "H" form stretchers to further strengthen the frames. The lower portion of the chairs have been finely molded and both arm chairs have comfortable rolled arms with finely carved curling knuckle ends.

The entire table is constructed from a beautiful selection of mahogany and features an elliptical band inlay of satinwood that contrasts the traditional mahogany finish. Overall the table measures ten feet long with two 24" wide table leaves provided to expand the standard six foot table to the optimal length. The table will measure eight feet long if only one of the two matched leaves are used. Twin pedestal supports are able to be detached from the underside of the table should moving the piece ever become a consideration. These pedestals are designed with three down-swept legs that end with brass lion paw feet coverings over caster wheels in a manner similar to the traditional Duncan Phyfe style. The table features a finely reeded edge along with expertly turned pedestal elements and a lovely molding detail throughout the legs. The condition of the entire table is wonderful as it has been protected from harm in large part thanks to the original padded table coverings that can quickly be folded up and stored. This is a vintage table from 2002 so there is some very light wear marks and scuffing in the lacquer. We take our photos outside in direct sunlight and had to seek out specific angles to have it visible in our photos. Inside under normal household lighting it’s truly a non factor. The table presents well and we’d easily rate it a 9 out of 10 for condition.

The armchairs measure 26” wide arm to arm x 23 1/2” deep x 40” tall with a 18 1/2” seat height. The side chairs measure 22” wide x 23 1/2” deep x 40” tall with an 18 1/2” seat height.

The table measures 72” wide x 45 3/4” deep x 29 1/4” tall. When the two 24” leaves are installed the table is 10 feet wide. See less
