Hand carved 1970’s Chinese dining room set
This is my mother’s dining room set, these are some of the details I remember from when we first got it in the early 1970s: It was made-to-order and purchased in China. Hand carved from a teak ship. 6’ round table. Bar top inserts jade. Table + 8 chairs + cabinet + bar=11 pieces total. Two of the chairs have broken legs that require repair.
