Natural Edge Table Appraisal

Live Edge Style Dining Table and Bench Set

This is a rustic-style dining set comprising a long dining table and a matching bench, both crafted from what appears to be solid wood, possibly walnut or a similarly rich-toned hardwood, given its visible grain patterns and deep brown coloration. The table features a substantial, thick top with a natural, irregular edge often referred to as 'live edge' on at least one side, suggestive of its origin from a single slab or carefully joined planks that retain the natural contours of the tree. The surface is smooth with a clear finish that enhances the wood's natural luster and highlights its grain. The base of the table consists of robust, angled cross-leg supports, forming an 'X' or trestle design, connected by a central stretcher, all constructed from the same type of wood. The bench also exhibits a thick, solid wood top with a similar warm finish and prominent grain, supported by two sturdy, angled leg structures. The overall construction appears solid and handcrafted, indicative of quality furniture. There are no immediate visible signs of major damage or wear, suggesting good condition. The clean lines combined with the organic edge detail lend it a contemporary rustic or farmhouse aesthetic. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernable from the provided image. The estimated age, based on contemporary design trends for live edge furniture, would likely be modern, possibly within the last 10-20 years.
