Vintage G Plan Dining Suite with Extending Oval Table & Four Chairs

If you’re looking for a well-crafted, hard-working dining room set, then this vintage five-piece suite from G Plan is just the ticket. From its ever-popular Fresco range, the dining table is sturdy and substantial, constructed in teak with a contrasting, darker border and whale tail legs underneath. It’s a generous oval for four to six in its regular mode but can readily switch up for bigger entertaining with G Plan’s patented, hidden extension. Pull the two sides apart and fan out the extension to comfortably accommodate eight or more dinner guests at over 2m in length. Accompanying the table are Leslie Dandy’s tall, elegant dining chairs, newly reupholstered in a classic, brown / grey wool with a subtle herringbone motif running through it. These chairs are contoured for comfort and support.

Description

This is original, vintage dining room suite is ‘sold as seen’. It’s comprised of the dining table and four dining chairs. They are all in very good, used condition. The table has been checked, cleaned and two halves of the table top have been restored. This involved carefully stripping the original finish followed by oil and wax. The extension section, table border / base and legs have been buffed with a natural beeswax polish but otherwise the finish is original here. The extension is housed within the middle section. The two table halves pull apart and the extension rotates and folds out. The two sides are then pushed back in to create a seamless table top. The hinges, foldout mechanism and runners are all in good working order. The extension is a touch darker than the two sides, a common issue with vintage tables. It’s simply because it’s been used less and hasn’t been as exposed to sunlight so hasn’t faded and worn in quite the same way as the main table top. Overall, the table is in very good order with just minor signs of wear and tear. It’s a very well-made piece that’s weighty, solid and sturdy. The G Plan label can be seen underneath. The teak chair frames have been thoroughly cleaned, checked and polished with a 100% natural beeswax product. The seat pads have been fully reupholstered with new foam, materials and 100% wool fabric, all compliant to FR regulations and labelled accordingly. All four chairs are solid and stable with no wobbles.  As you can appreciate from our photos, these chairs are superbly crafted. The G Plan label is affixed to the underside of each chair.
