Rosewood Table & Chair Sets with Dining Table

Gorgeous Rosewood Tables and Chairs for Your Dining Room

Rosewood gleams with a majestic reddish-brown hue that looks especially splendid when properly polished, making rosewood tables especially attractive to those with an eye to crafting a beautiful dining room. Add in a set of chairs made of the same stately wood and carved with lovely designs that evoke an Old World elegance, and you have the perfect centrepiece for an unforgettable dining room. To help you find the right rosewood dining table and chair set for your home, let us equip you with some useful information.

Being that these are dining room tables, they tend to be quite large. As mentioned, the rosewood itself is a beautiful reddish-brown colour. Other than those features, here are a few other features you may expect to find:

• Shape: Rectangular shapes are more common for dining tables, though large oval-shaped and even circular tables are also occasionally available. With rectangular tables, the corners are often curved and not sharp.
• Seating Capacity: Seating capacity tends to tilt to the larger end, with the very smallest available dinner tables seating four people. Tables seating six and even eight people are much more common.
• Surface Designs: Rosewood's natural colour contours are beautiful enough to make carving additional designs into the table surface unnecessary, but other tables go the extra mile. Circular and oval-shaped tables, in particular, have designs carved into them that wall off sections of the table. Other times, rosewood of differing hues is arranged together to produce a contrast.

Just like the tables, the chairs in a rosewood dining room set tend to be elaborately and beautifully carved. Here are some of their important features:

• Carved Patterns: Just as some tables have patterns carved into them that separate out certain sections, the chairs in the same set may have complementary patterns carved into their seats. For example, if a circular table has a circle carved into it that approaches its edges, the chairs may also each have a similar square carved into them.
• Upholstery: Not all chairs in every set come with upholstery or cushioning, but those that do will have soft cotton or linen upholstery with homey and comforting designs on them like stripes, polka dots, or images of flowers.

Given the style of the various rosewood dining room sets that populate the eBay listings, you may start to wonder how many of them are actual antique furniture pieces. And, indeed, you can find antique rosewood dinner tables on eBay that are many decades old. Of course, purchasing antique tables or chairs comes with the usual caveats. Their wood is older and requires more care and maintenance. They are also generally more expensive. On the plus side, however, antique furniture is often built with a style that you don't often see in contemporary pieces.
