Jacobean tables and family dinners

We have received a beautiful dining room set, a reproduction of the English Jacobean style. We're guessing the set is walnut. What do you think?

The consignor remembers going as a child with his father, a Latvian immigrant, to purchase it from a secondhand dealer in Seattle's Belltown in about 1950. This handsome ensemble has since graced decades of family gatherings, but now it needs a new home.

The table extends from 44" wide by 5' long up to 6', 7', or 8' long. There are 5 dining chairs and 1 armchair for the head of the table, or the guest of honor.




Most impressive to me is the capacious serving buffet. With its inlaid and carved wood, it is beautiful piece for serving, storage, and display.



The (presumably) walnut veneer is accented with just a touch of birdseye maple beneath the crest of the backboard.


The original brass hardware is intact, with one casualty over the years --see buffet door on viewer's left, below; the escutcheon is still here, kept in a drawer of the buffet, but the pendant is missing:


The buffet is 68" long x 22.5" deep x 38.25" tall.
I've never seen one with a bottom drawer like this, that extends the full width. Great for holding tablecloths or treasure maps:


These pieces are all solid wood, very well constructed (e.g. dovetail drawers), and sturdy.

The finish shows its age on all pieces. The table has been refinished with an oil rub that brings out the grain beautifully, but probably needs a refresher coat.

(There are table pads, but they are quite worn.)
