A beautifully proportioned dining set that captures the understated elegance of mid-century design. "Angles" were top of mind when this set was designed. Notice the angled legs meeting the apron of the table, the gently curved top, and the floating-like seats on the chairs.
Crafted in richly toned mahogany, the set comprises a dining table and six matching tapered inward, ladder-back dining chairs (with a repetition of this detail at the back of each chair), all showcasing the clean lines, gentle curves, and refined craftsmanship that define the era.
The chairs feature gracefully shaped backrests with three sculpted horizontal slats, providing both visual lightness and excellent support. Newly upholstered seats in a textured dark charcoal with black specs fabric introduce a subtle contemporary contrast to the warmth of the timber, enhancing comfort while remaining true to the character of the set.
The dining table is equally well considered, distinguished by its elegant bowed sides that create an elongated, surfboard-like silhouette. Angled tapered legs lend the piece a sense of movement and lightness, while the slim profile allows the beauty of the mahogany grain to take centre stage.
A timeless dining suite that blends seamlessly into both modern and vintage-inspired interiors.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item description. While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture. In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible. We encourage in-store viewing or careful review of photographs before purchase.
Transport & Handling Note:
All items are carefully wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling. Once items leave our premises, we cannot take responsibility for their treatment by third-party transporters. We strongly recommend arranging goods-in-transit insurance for comprehensive protection.
Due to the fragility of glass, we do not recommend shipping glass items outside of Gauteng.

As with many Mid-Century pieces, this item features a thoughtful combination of solid wood and high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a long and respected tradition in furniture making, valued for both its aesthetic and structural benefits. When crafted with skill and applied in substantial thickness, vintage veneer proves highly durable, allowing for careful restoration, including retouching, sanding, and refinishing without compromising the integrity of the piece.
