This is a rare Priory dining suite in the fact that it is constructed of oak – most suites of this design at this time were constructed of elm. The suite has been professionally French polished by hand in our workshops. The table, features a lovely solid oak oval moulded top, with two drop-leaf ends, boasting wonderful straw-colour and grain configuration, and the drop leaf ends are secured by pull-out supports. The top is raised on four tapering beech block legs. The table exhibits an attractive clean design, with simple, clean lines and curves. The oak armchairs, which are of a Quaker Windsor design, feature five spindles to the inside of an oval shaped beech moulded back rail, connecting to the seat. The back rail is connected to the saddle shaped elm seat, with shaped arms on turned supports connecting between the back and the side stretchers. The chairs rest on turned beech legs, united by “H” beech stretchers, which makes them a firm utility chair, ideal for daily use in the kitchen.
