- jacobean dining set. My parents bought this set in the early 80s from a high-end antique dealer in Berkley CA. It has been used very seldomly and is in outstanding condition. The only thing I see as an issue is a couple of spots on one of the seats. Otherwise, all the rest of the red velvet chairs and table are in great shape. The chairs have the highly sought-after barley twists and the table and chairs have balls for feet. One of the chairs has armrests and is bigger than the others I believe it's for the head of the table. The table has built-in leaves that pull out and lift into place. Everything is hand carved and the set is lovely. The pictures do not do it justice. I would keep it but I recently downsized and it is too big for my space.
