CHOOSING THE RIGHT VINTAGE TABLE AND CHAIRS

The dining table is one of the most often used and important pieces of furniture in any home. It’s here that friends and family gather round for special occasions and celebrations, and where we catch up on the day’s events over mealtines. In many ways, it’s the centre of the home. Finding the right dining table and chairs is important, and for many people, a vintage dining set is the obvious choice. Your table needs to be durable and withstand the rigours of everyday use, while looking stylish. It needs to be the right size and shape – large enough to seat your ideal number of dinner party guests but not so large that it dominates the room. And above all, if you’re looking for a vintage dining table and chairs, chances are you want it to have bags of character; imperfections are welcome here. They tell the tale of dinner parties past, and untold celebrations.

ANTIQUE AND SCANDINAVIAN MODERN AND MID CENTURY DINING TABLES AND CHAIRS

We find that some of the most popular woods for vintage dining tables and antique dining tables are mahogany, rosewood and teak for the vintage pieces.  Vintage teak wood dining tables and chairs are a staple from any mid century collection and a very popular choice among vintage lovers. Why? It comes in a huge variety of shades from light teak to dark teak, is extremely durable, offers up a grainy real wood aesthetic and is recognisable for the majority of furniture lovers.Another popular choice and also available within our collection includes a well-worn, rustic farmhouse table or elegant antique dining tables and chairs. When it comes to vintage dining chairs, it’s up to you whether you choose a matching set, or mix things up with different materials, textures and styles. We are seeing a shift towards a neutral palette, with cream bouclée wool fabrics. Part of the charm of vintage furniture is its uniqueness and pairing a table with different or even mismatching chairs can create a charming look.

PRACTICAL AND SPACE-SAVING

In small rooms you need to make the best use of the space you have. A drop leaf (or extendable) table is a vintage furniture classic that has been popular for decades but is still useful in today’s homes. These folding vintage chairs are practical and flexible, letting you expand the size when you have guests and neatly folding away to be tucked in the corner when not in use. Extendable tables are perfect for small apartments and dining rooms where space is limited. Better still, vintage drop leaf tables come in a range of styles; from chic and retro to ornate traditional British designs.

These sturdy pieces have stood the test of time. And as it’s used everyday, you need to know that your table is resilient and durable. Our collection includes vintage style dining tables and chairs made from beautiful natural materials like teak, walnut, mahogany and oak.
