Chinese furniture
Two chairs and one table with what I believe is ivory inlays. I got these from my grandparents who had them for years. Table has some wear on the top, where a glass used to protect the table top. beautiful inlays all around the table and chairs and the back of the chairs. These are way over 50 years old.
Chairs are 25 inches long by 25 inch wide. Back of chair is 33 inches high. Seat height is 12 inches. Table is 33 inches in diameter
