This set includes a magnificant carved claw foot round to oval dining table with grape vine carving, rope border, and carved skirt, carved ball and claw feet, and fully carved pedestal, matching china cabinet, fully carved with 3 dimensional urn finials, carved crest, 2 doors, and 1 drawer, plus fully carved ball and claw feet, 2 matching servers, with back splash, rope border, ball and claw feet, matching carvings throughout, and nine matching carved side chair and one arm chair. 2 matching servers on ball and claw feet, matching carvings that match the table. Table top has grape vine carving, round table with leaves to expand to oval size. Urn finials on China cabinet, full mirror back, matching ball and claw feet, one drawer. Fabulous matching carvings throughout set, including rope borders and seashells, matching hardware, monumental set! The family's great grandfather purchased this set in Boston and it has been in the family ever since! This is a fabulous set, attributed to A.H. Davenport Furniture Makers, Boston, MA, founded in 1880, was one of the nation's premiere makers of expensive, Gilded Age Victorian furniture, furnishing ornate mansions, elite clubs, banks, and famous estates. It is rare to find a complete set that has been owned by the same family, in such wonderful condition! Don't miss out on this one! The table measures 60" round, opens with 3 leaves which measures 14" each, leaves are skirted, massive ball and claw feet with split pedestal which opens to reveal a center leg for support with ball and claw foot. This set was more than likely custom made to have matching servers. The servers measure 43" wide x 36" tall with 8 1/2" tall back splash, all over carved to match set. The China cabinet comes in 2 sections and measures approx. 78" tall x 51" wide with full mirror back and 4 adj. shelves with plate rails, all carved. The seats are a bee pattern and the chairs are heavily carved to match the set. The chairs measure approx. 19" wide, 42" tall and 17" deep. This set could be used in board room, dining room, or many differed uses in today's life. The set all retains the original finish and in a high retail environment would sell for $20,000 to $25,000! We have never had a set like this one in 38 years of business!
