European Intricately Hand-Carved 10 Piece Black Walnut Dining Set with Sideboard

This magnificent European intricately hand-carved black walnut dining set dates to the late 1800s and epitomizes artistry and craftsmanship. The set includes a trestle table with two leaves, two armchairs, six side chairs, and a matching sideboard. Each piece is a testament to meticulous woodworking.

The table features seven turned and fluted carved columns supporting the trestle base, offering elegance and structural integrity. The aprons are adorned with intricate, deep relief carvings of fruit and pine cones, symbolizing abundance, and are framed by a gadrooned border, enhancing the table’s ornate appeal.

The chairs feature winged mythical female creatures carved into the top rail, adding a majestic touch. Lions at the top corners and central carved masks add a bold and dramatic element, showcasing power and mystique. Winged caryatids support the arms of the chairs, providing support and decoration, emphasizing the grandeur of the set.

The matching sideboard is a masterpiece in its own right. The piece features two drawers across the top and four doors that open in the front, offering ample storage space. The front is decorated with deep relief carvings of gargoyles, female winged figures, and full columns topped with lions, creating a visually striking facade. The edges and top borders of the sideboard are adorned with gadrooned carvings to mimic the table, tying the design together and completing the ensemble with finesse.
