Description

A five-piece outdoor patio dining set in the Mid-Century Modern style by Francois Carre Design consisting of a circular glass-top table and four matching armchairs. Each piece is constructed from painted metal and features a radial strap sunburst motif on the chair seats, backrests, and table base structure. The armchairs are designed with curved wrap-around backs and scrolled armrests, supported by splayed legs terminating in pad feet. The table base consists of four curved legs joined by a central ring stretcher, supporting a thick beveled glass top. Dimensions (measured against a ruler): Table Diameter 48 in x H approx. 30 in; Chairs H approx. 34 in x W 26 in x Seat Diameter 18 in. Condition: Fair used condition with significant evidence of outdoor weathering. There is pervasive surface oxidation and rust, most notably on the chair armrests, seat centers, and structural joins. The painted finish exhibits widespread chipping, wear, and staining. The glass tabletop shows some mineral deposits and clouding around the perimeter.
