"Paramount Furniture Co.," Dining Table and Chairs



Made by the Paramount Furniture Company of Warren, PA, this dining table with six chairs has an overall modern feel but with warm, more traditional, Biedermeier influences.  The set matches the credenza listed below and has an equal level of quality and design.  The wood is the same rich, nicely patinated, ribbon stripe mahogany.  The table has two attached leaves which drop and three additional loose leaves.  It has a very handsome four pedestal base which separates as the loose leaves are added.  There is one arm chair and five side chairs which retain their original teal fabric upholstery in good condition.  As shown with the leaves extended the table is 55" l, 40" w., and 29" h.  With the leaves down it is 25" l.  Each loose leaf measures 12" w., and fully extended with all leaves added, the length is 91".  American, c. 1940 SOLD
