Green Upholstery Dining Appraisal

Vintage Carved Wood Dining Set with Green Upholstery

This item is a vintage dining set comprising an oval-shaped dining table and at least six matching chairs, all crafted from what appears to be a dark-stained hardwood, possibly mahogany or a similar rich-toned wood. The table features an ornate pedestal base with fluted details and multiple curved supports, contributing to its generally robust appearance. The tabletop itself is polished to a high sheen, reflecting light, and a detailed, possibly embroidered or lace, table runner adorns its center. The chairs are particularly distinctive, featuring elaborate carved wooden frames with rococo-style scrolling and pierced details on the crest rails, which are topped with elegant shell or acanthus leaf motifs. The upholstery on all chairs is a vibrant, possibly velvet or velour, olive-green fabric. The seat backs are button-tufted, adding to their plush and traditional aesthetic, while the seats are generously padded. At least one chair, in the foreground, is an armchair with carved armrests, indicating it might be a 'host' or 'hostess' chair, distinguishable from the side chairs. The overall condition appears to be good for a vintage piece, showing a consistent patina on the wood due to age and use, but no major visible damage or repairs are apparent from the provided images. The wood finish seems well-maintained, and the upholstery, while potentially aged, does not show obvious tears or significant stains. The style suggests a period between the late 19th century and mid-20th century, likely leaning towards a Baroque Revival or Rococo Revival aesthetic, emphasizing intricate carving and luxurious textiles. The craftsmanship appears to be of a reasonable quality, with attention paid to decorative details and solid construction, indicative of furniture meant for formal dining.
