Kitchen Table Set Appraisal

Oval Pedestal Dining Table with Matching Chairs

This is a dining set comprising an oval pedestal dining table and six matching chairs, likely crafted from a dark-stained hardwood, possibly mahogany or a similar rich-toned wood. The table features an oval top with a deep reddish-brown finish, exhibiting a high-gloss sheen that reflects ambient light. The surface of the table shows visible signs of wear, including scratches, scuffs, and areas where the finish appears dulled or marred, particularly towards the center and along the edges, suggesting regular use and age. There are also distinct lines indicating that the table is composed of multiple leaves or sections, allowing for extension. The table base, though not fully visible, appears to be a robust pedestal design, providing central support. The six accompanying chairs feature dark frames that complement the table's finish. The chair backs are a distinctive element, with two chairs showcasing a shell-like carving or decorative motif on their backrests, while the other four chairs have a simpler, possibly curved or shaped top rail. The seats of all chairs are upholstered in a dark, possibly navy or charcoal, fabric with a subtle dotted or textured pattern. Two of the chairs are armchairs, distinguished by elegant, curved armrests, while the remaining four are armless side chairs. The legs of the chairs are gently curved, tapering towards the floor, indicating a graceful and possibly classical or traditional design influence. The overall style suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary design, leaning towards a classic or traditional aesthetic. The craftsmanship appears solid, though the finish on the table indicates a need for restoration to regain its original luster.
