Description

An elegant Victorian style dining set comprising an oval or racetrack-shaped dining table and eight matching chairs. The table features a rich, dark mahogany timber finish, with a sturdy central pedestal base and two additional supports or legs when extended. The chairs complement the table, featuring a distinctive heart-shaped or ornate cut-out backrest design and upholstered seats in a light, neutral fabric. The set exudes a classic, formal aesthetic, suitable for a traditional dining room. The overall condition is consistent with age and use, displaying a well-maintained appearance with general wear.

Condition Report

The dining table surface shows visible signs of wear, including minor scratches, scuffs, and some areas of discolouration or fading consistent with regular use. The timber finish on both the table and chairs exhibits some small dings and superficial scuffs. The upholstery on the chairs appears to have some staining and general wear, though no major rips or tears are immediately apparent from the images. One chair has the top section loose and required reglueing at the join. It sits tight though but will come apart if lifted by that section.
