I won this set at an estate auction. The set is oak and very heavy consisting of a table, six side chairs and two armchairs. The table is narrow .... 32" and the length is 66" unextended. Both sides extend and when extended the center of the table drops down so all pieces are one level. Each extension is 18". The top actually lifts off and the sides will slide all the way out leaving only the base as one piece. The bulb legs are about 25" round and heavily carved. The chairs are also heavily carved. They originally had cained seats that still exist but a new liftoff seat has been added to cover the caining. Even those liftoff seats appear to be quite old. The backs of the chair have caining in the center. The top of the back has finials and the center has a crown carving. There are also floral carvings and leaves are carved on the arms of the two armchairs. I was unable to find any markings on any pieces. I am not certain that these were originally one set .... they could just be paired up together. All pieces are so heavily carved it is hard to tell. I would love to know the age and value of this set. Although I do love it so that alone is worth the money!!
