Lot 75: A Late 20th Century Oval Gate-Leg Stowaway Dining Set
Not sold
A contemporary stowaway dining set comprising an oval gate-leg table and a set of four matching folding chairs. The table features a rectangular central pedestal base on four black plastic casters, housing a storage compartment for the chairs accessed via a hinged side door. The table top consists of a narrow fixed central section and two large semi-elliptical drop-leaves supported by swing-out gate-leg frames. The chairs are of folding lath-back design with slatted seats.
Condition report:
The table top and leaves show extensive surface wear, including deep scratches, abrasions, and significant areas of finish loss exposing the underlying wood (photos 1, 4, and 6). The fixed central section exhibits heavy finish wear and scuffing (photo 2). One gate-leg support has a temporary repair consisting of corrugated card and tape wrapped around the lower rail (photo 5). The plastic casters and lower frame show minor scuffs consistent with use. The chairs appear functional but show minor cosmetic wear to the finish.
