Craftsmanship & Detail

The table is raised on tripple pedestal supports with elegant swept legs, providing both stability and generous legroom. The yew wood top displays attractive figuring and a rich polished surface, with a central extension leaf allowing the table to expand from everyday dining size to a substantial entertaining table.

The chairs feature shaped top rails, carved shell detail and pierced splat backs inspired by classic Georgian and Chippendale furniture. The neutral upholstered seats make the suite easy to place within a wide range of interiors.

Interior Appeal

This is a highly practical and decorative dining suite, equally suited to a traditional dining room, country house, large kitchen-dining space or elegant contemporary interior. When fully extended, the table comfortably accommodates ten guests, making it ideal for family gatherings and entertaining.

Investment Value

Large complete dining suites with their full complement of matching chairs are increasingly difficult to source, particularly examples of this scale and presentation. The combination of yew wood figuring, practical extension, ten matching chairs and timeless traditional styling gives this suite strong long-term decorative appeal.
