Elegant seven-piece dining set by the White Furniture Company of Mebane, North Carolina — the South's oldest maker of fine furniture, handcrafting quality bedroom and dining room pieces from 1881 until 1993. This set is from their Mandarin Collection and dates to the 80s era, when White produced sophisticated Asian-influenced contemporary designs alongside its traditional reproductions
The rectangular extension table is finished in deep black high-gloss lacquer with fine perimeter detailing on each inset panel with a graduated Red Mahogany coloration in the 2 center panels, and it opens down the center seam to accept a leaf (included) for additional seating. The Ming-inspired silhouette features four corner legs with subtly rounded edges and shaped feet, joined by a mitered apron.
The set includes six matching chairs — two armchairs and four side chairs — in a striking contrast to the table, crafted with richly figured burl-wood veneer. Each chair features a yoke-back "official's hat" top rail, a wide central splat adorned with a brass medallion in a traditional cloud motif, serpentine arms on the armchairs, and sabre back legs with front stretchers. Seats are drop-in style, upholstered in a neutral beige faux suede fabric.
We also have the table and chairs listed for sale separately.
