About this vintage design furniture

The dining set comprises of the extending table and 6 chairs made from Afrormosia and Teak. The matching table extends at both ends and 6 chairs fit comfortably around the table with plenty of legroom. The Volnay series was designed in 1956 and was produced up until c 1965. Beautifully made from solid afromosia by A Younger and designed by John Herbert they are not only comfortable but just that little better made than other dining chairs of the time. Afromosia is a slightly darker form of teak which was used by good British makers in the late 1950s and early 60s, and it’s a good hard-wearing timber. The Dining table is in very good conditions. The dining chairs are in very good structural condition and the frames show light wear consistent with age, however, the fabric shows some stains and marks, they would do with a reupholstery. Dimensions: Length fully extended: 212cm Length extended once: 171cm Length unextended: 129cm Height: 73cm Width: 81cm
