"Widdicomb" Asian Modern Dining Table and 6 Chairs

Palm Springs chic!  This outstanding set by Widdicomb features a round, four foot diameter table with three leaves.  Each leaf is 15" wide, and fully extended the table is a 93" oval.  It is finished in a rich sable stain and has decorative patinated brass balls on the skirt.  There are two arm chairs and four side chairs.  Each chair has been completely restored and newyly reupholstered in a very smart cotton Ikat style fabric with new foam.  The chairs are on casters and are very comfortable.  In addition to being one of the coolest sets we have had in the shop, it is also one of the most versatile.  It functions beautifully as a dining group, but would also be perfect as a games set or for a sun room.  The chairs work nicely as occasional chairs as well as dining chairs.  American, c. 1960  SOLD
