Description
This is a truly stunning high-end dining table and chairs, in beautiful teak and rosewood, designed by Robert Heritage for revered London maker Archie Shine in the 1960s. A superb vintage dining suite consisting of an extending dining table, with rosewood top and teak legs, and 6 matching dining chairs. The chairs comprise 4 standard chairs and 2 carver style armchairs. The top pieces of the table simply glide apart to reveal the extra leaf (stored underneath) which can then be easily lifted into position.
Robert Heritage designed furniture for a number of British makers in the 1950s, 60s and 70s but is best known for his work for the top quality London maker Archie Shine. Archie Shine furniture was retailed by Heals and a few independent up-market provincial retailers. Robert Heritage was also an influential Professor of Furniture at the Royal College of Art from 1974-1985 .
Condition is super. All pieces are structurally sound and the fabric is in great condition, the chairs having been recently recovered. Not noticeable but there is a historic repair to one chair (see photo). The repair remains strong and stable.
