Antique Belgian Oak Dining Set – Ball & Claw Table & 6 Chairs w/ Leaves

This substantial antique Belgian oak dining set, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, showcases the craftsmanship and design aesthetics of the period. The set includes an oval extension table and six high-back chairs, all constructed from solid oak. The table features cabriole legs terminating in intricately carved ball-and-claw feet, a design element characteristic of the Chippendale style, which was popular in both England and Belgium during this era.

Each chair is upholstered in a leather-like vinyl material, framed by solid oak backs with arched crest rails and floral motifs. The upholstery is accented with brass tack trim, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail typical of the period. The table includes two 15-inch extension leaves, allowing it to expand from 54 inches to 84 inches in length, accommodating larger gatherings with ease.

This dining set shares provenance with a matching Belgian oak sideboard, also featuring ball-and-claw feet and complementary decorative elements.
