This is a once-in-a-lifetime, truly extraordinary dining set, designed by the legendary Japanese-American architect, George Nakashima. This set includes the #269-W drop leaf table, a set of 4 #271-W side chairs, and a set of 2 #259-W armchairs. Each one of these pieces are constructed with the highest quality solid walnut wood, featuring stunning wood grain throughout with a semi-gloss finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drop leaf table is a very unique piece, featuring a rounded pick-shaped design. The table is supported with four main legs, with a fifth leg sliding out from the underside of the table to support the drop leaf. While the naturalistic view of the table’s wood surface is beautiful, the underside view showing the truly breathtaking craftsmanship of the table legs is amazing. Each leg is sculpted to form, with intentional movement and functional wood joinery. The original Widdicomb tagging can be seen on the underside of the table as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEqually, if not more, beautiful in this set are the included 6 chairs; 2 arm and 4 side. George Nakashima is well regarded for much of his furniture, but his chair designs are some of his most sublime and iconic, simple and understated. Each chair is carefully hand crafted with a lovely walnut wood, featuring gorgeous lines and curves, inspired by geometric and nature-inspired ideas. Each chair is walnut wood with hickory spokes, finished in Nakashima’s Sundra finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorge Nakashima (1905-1990) is a Japanese-American architect, designer, and craftsman. He is one of the most well regarded makers of the 20th-century. Nakashima was born in Spokane, Washington, later attending the University of Washington, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Ecole Americaine des Beaux-Arts Fontainebleau in France.
