Description
This is an antique barley twist dining set I bought several years ago at an antique fair locally. There are six chairs, four side chairs with barley twist legs and two similar end chairs with turned legs. The table has two draw leaves and is in excellent condition.

Pieces like this are generally referred to as "Jacobean Revival" pieces, as they mimic the style of English Jacobean pices made during the 1600's.
A great many of them were English Imports made during the second Quarter of the 20th Century. At auction these sell in the $500.00- $700.00 range.
