Your coffee and end table set was made by the George Zee Company in Hong Kong. This manufacturer sold furniture mainly to military personnel based in the orient during the 1950's to the 1970's.

I have almost the EXACT same coffee table but it is carved in a slightly different image on the top and mine has glass.  I have papers dating mine from the 1800's - I think the quote that they were made in the 1950's may be a little off but I am not an expert.
