A Swedish painted dining set, early 20th century, comprising a rectangular table and four chairs, with turned legs and restrained carved detailing.
The design sits between Art Nouveau softness and a more structured, classical influence. The table is defined by its weightier proportions and turned legs, while the chairs introduce variation through differing back splat designs – each with subtle carved or linear detail. Likely a one-off, made by a local carpenter or within a domestic workshop.
The table extends with two pull-out leaves, allowing it to shift easily in scale.
Finished in white paint, later painted and repainted over time, with visible wear, marks and areas of cracking consistent with age and use.
The chairs’ leather seats have been later painted white. Reupholstery can be arranged – £160 for the set in calico, with final cost dependent on fabric choice.
Table: 130 × 109 × 78 cm
Extension leaves: 55 cm each
Chairs:
Width: 46 cm
Seat height: 47 cm
Height: 99 cm
Collection from Brixton, London or arranged delivery
