This is a dining table and chairs set that I picked up from a mother/daughter team in Simcoe, Ontario early last spring. It has the classic Duncan Phyfe pedestal bases and shield back chairs that are reminiscent of this classic style. The whole set is a dark mahogany wood and stain but really solid.
I chose the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ Old White colour to finish this set with. It took three coats to cover the dark mahogany wood frame. The table surface was in really good shape so I left it as is.
At first, I was torn as to what fabric to use but finally chose this lovely floral blue and cream indoor/outdoor fabric in this floral motif that has completed transformed the look of these chairs.
This is a lovely set that would make the shabby chic, cottage, beach or seaside decorator very happy. The classic lines in this traditional Duncan Phyfe Style table and chairs and the whimsical and fresh Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ in Old White distressed and waxed to perfection along with the great fabric make it a favourite for that shabby chic casual look.
The table measures 62″L x 42″W (includes 2x 18″ leaves). Includes four chairs.
