antique dining chairs

GET YOUR DINING ROOM READY FOR CHRISTMAS CHOOSING AN ANTIQUE DINING TABLE The focal feature of the dining room, you need to get this absolutely right, as you'll be living with it for a very long time with some luck! For longevity and character, antique dining tables fit the bill. Having stood the test of time and being made with some of the finest woods, they offer an affordable, quality choice of dining furniture. So where do you start? Measure your room, or the area you wish to place the table, and start imagining what shape might suit your space. Think about how many people you might need to seat. Antique Drop Leaf Dining Table Antique Extending Dining Table Rectangular dining tables are the most popular shape, lending themselves well to narrower dining spaces, allowing them to be pushed up against a wall to maximise space. Similarly square dining tables can offer the same advantages, fitting comfortably into the corner of a room. The original space saving tables, antique drop leaf tables, became popular in the 16th century and can be found in most shapes. Round dining tables offer an intimate dining experience, with a flowing curve, they also work well in any room shape. If you're looking to avoid potential seating problems with table legs, look for a dining table with a pedestal base. Having the base in the centre makes the whole table usable. If you have a large family or you regularly entertain, you might like to consider an antique extending dining table. Antique Tilt Top Round Dining Table with central pillar base CHOOSING ANTIQUE DINING CHAIRS When looking for dining chairs for sale, keep in mind how many you need for your dining table and what your budget is. If you've opted for an antique extending dining table, it may be worth getting a couple of extra chairs to store away until needed. You can find sets of antique dining chairs of various designs and sizes, most commonly in sets of 4 or 6. Victorian dining chairs are widely available and come in some lovely styles. Here at Kernow Furniture, we especially love balloon back dining chairs. They are built for comfort as well as style and are generally upholstered. As with most antique Victorian furniture, you can find them with a variety of influences in their design. Other chairs worth considering in an antique dining room include Sheraton style dining chairs which were inspired by the Louis XVI style, and Chippendale style chairs. Antique Balloon Back Dining Chairs Aesthetic Movement Victorian Dining Chairs Setting the table - crockery and cutlery Setting a Christmas dinner table doesn't mean you have to have a full dinner set of the same design. As lovely as that it, full antique and vintage crockery sets can sometimes be hard to come by. Mix and match your china this year with single dinner plates and bowls of different designs. Decorating your table Decorate your table and surrounding area with seasonal foliage and greenery. Use holly, pine sprigs, poinsettia plants, evergreen cuttings, pine cones - they all invoke the spirit of Christmas. We also love seeing traditional Christmas wreath or garland as table centre pieces, using fresh cuttings they smell diving! Choose vintage home accessories such as brass candlesticks with long tapered candles to add a bit of height to the table, or large glass jars with pillar candles.
