Victorian Dining Room Chairs
Circa: 1870
Dimensions table: 30.5″H x 49″Diameter (opens to 77″ with the two leaves in)
Dimensions chairs: 38″H x 22.5″W (arm) 36″H x 18″W (sides)
Finish: Each piece is excellent polished original finish except the table top which is refinished.
Description: Fantastic nine piece walnut Renaissance Revival Victorian dining room suite consisting of eight chairs (one arm) and a round dining table. The dining table has two leaves (13″ and 15″ wide). When the top opens a center leg (replaced) supports the middle of the table.
The table has a split pedestal base with four carved roaring lions, hairy claw feet and a shaped burled raised panel in the middle of each side of the pedestal. The skirt of the table has a band of unusual geometric inlay that is found also on the backs of the chairs.
In addition to the inlay, the chairs have fancy turnings and incised carvings. We had the seats and backs reupholstered. It is very difficult to find matching tables and chairs from this period. The inlay and lion carvings are unusual on tables and chairs.
