Victorian Dining Set Table & Hepplewhite Chairs Suite

CLICK HERE TO BUY THIS VICTORIAN DINING SET FROM CANONBURY ANTIQUES

Victorian Dining Set Table & Hepplewhite Chairs Suite

You are viewing an auction for a gorgeous Victorian style mahogany dining table and set of 8 matching Hepplewhite style chairs. The table stands in at an impressive 12 feet when fully extended. This is a sumptuous dining set fit for a king and I hope the photos do this amazing piece some justice.

The table is Victorian style and extends via the handle at one end of the table which winds the table up so you can take the leaves out or add them to suit your needs. It also means the table can be made a lot smaller for every day use and big for lavish dinner parties. The table sits 8 people very comfortably - please see the photos to show how it looks with the chairs around it and also the extending mechanism. 

The table has chunky hand turned legs and they are on castors so you can move it around easy. This would have been made by craftsmen on the Norfolk coast in England, a region famous for this type of furniture. 

The chairs are solid and wobble free, ready for home use right away. The back splats have been hand carved with typcial Hepplewhite designs including oval shapes and half rosettes, plus on the arm chairs are the acanthus leaf designs to the arms.

Regency Dining Set Pedestal Table and Hepplewhite Chairs



You are viewing a gorgeous thirteen foot triple pedestal Regency style dining table with a matching set of 8 Hepplewhite style dining chairs. I hope the photos do this stunning set some justice, it really is out of this world. The table seats ten people more than comfortably so this would make for a great piece for large, upscale dinner parties. You can fit more people if you need. 

The table extends to various different sizes. You can just use two pedestals if you needed for every day use or smaller gatherings. Thats the great thing about this, it\\\'s flexibility. It\\\'s easy to slot in the different leaves - there are two leaves in total each measuring 18 inches. 

The table is in flame mahogany with a satinwood crossbanding to the perimeter of the table giving it that regal look. 

The Hepplewhite chairs are solid and wobble free, ready for home use right away. The back splats have been hand carved with typical Hepplewhite designs including oval shapes and half rosettes, plus on the arm chairs are the acanthus leaf designs to the arms. 

The seats are cushioned and have just been reupholstered with a flower print cream fabric. As this is new it comes free from any previous owners smells such as pets and smoke, always a bonus.
