A set of eight (8) ladder back dining chairs. Authentic reproductions of the style popular in provincial France. Made by reputable Melbourne maker Gaudions approx. 20 years ago.

This one is really quite clever. A comfortable solid compact table in Tasmanian oak. With a very built in extension at each end. We may have led a sheltered life over the last 30 years in this game, but we had not previously encountered this method. Each end has a fold out (butterfly ) leaf that can be used independently. The table is very solid ( a good start for a robust entertaining life), and the fabric covered chairs are comfortable, clean and well sprung. Faults? A 0.5 cm bruise on one edge.
Recommended.
