Dining Room Set

Overview

This dining room set is a modern reproduction in a classic traditional style, featuring a rich veneer inlay motif, detailed carvings, and coordinated buffets. Based on materials, construction techniques, and the "Made in Vietnam" tag (visible under one chair), this set was likely manufactured between the late 1990s and early 2010s as part of a high-end imported furniture line sold through national retailers or furniture outlets.

Set Components

• Table: Rectangular with ornate double fan shell/compass rose inlay, beveled and curved edges, and richly carved pedestal-style legs
  • Dimensions: 42" x 72" + 17.75" extension leaf (total ~90")
• Chairs: Matching carved backs with identical inlay, upholstered seats (modern replacements), claw and acanthus leaf motif legs
• Buffets (2): Coordinating sideboards with similar inlay, rounded front corners, brass pulls, and fluted corner columns

Key Details

• Design Style: Traditional / Chippendale Revival / Federal-Inspired
• Materials: Likely hardwood with cherry or walnut veneer, and detailed machine-carved components
• Manufacture: Vietnam (label on underside of chair: "P1834EX")
• Condition: Good overall; light wear, scratches on tabletop, and possible minor refinishing needed

Estimated Date

• Manufacture Period: ~2000–2010
• These sets became widely popular during the boom in imported furniture during that decade, especially from Vietnam, China, and Indonesia.
