🎨 Style & Craftsmanship

This table and chair set is a classic example of mid-20th century American-made French Provincial furniture, characterized by:

• Scrolled, cabriole legs
• Ladder-back chairs with cane inserts
• Curved tabletop edges and scalloped aprons
• Muted finish—popular in country French or cottage-style interiors

This style was extremely popular in the 1950s–1970s, and Thomasville was one of the premier manufacturers during this era, producing high-quality solid wood furniture that has stood the test of time.

⚒️ Condition Report

• Table: Good overall. The glass top has likely helped preserve the wood. Minor surface wear or blemishes consistent with age.
• Chairs: Structurally sound but with mixed upholstery condition (some torn, one visibly repaired but not blended). Cane backs appear intact but would need confirmation of tightness.
