This time set, part of the lauded Irwin Collection, showcases exceptional design and superior craftsmanship. Crafted in the 1950s in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this table features a spacious surface supported by solid mahogany legs and brass tone stretchers, adding a unique touch to its classic design. The table comes with two extension leaves, each measuring 12″, allowing the table to extend to a maximum length of 78″ when fully expanded. Perfect for accommodating guests, this dining table is a true statement of both style and functionality.

The chairs, redone to match the table, feature the same brass supports and have been reupholstered in a vintage, kind-to-the-touch polyester blend fabric in burnt orange tones. All seats include newly added medium density foam for maximum comfort and longevity.

With that said the wood is in overall very good condition and pickled wood finish gives this table an excellent weathered appearance.The brass table crossmembers and chair supports show only minor tarnishing. The table easily expands and contracts via a clever system of metal cogs and the two extension leaves are easily installed and removed. The upholstery, redone by the previous owners, is in very good condition with no stains, tears or odors present whatsoever.This ultra-rare expansion dining table and matching chair set is highly functional, structurally solid and ready for a literal lifetime more of use.
