It looks like the style might be oriental.

Did you flip it over? Are there any markings on the underside?

Most American manufacturer's names are stamped on the underside of both tables and chairs. This looks like an oriental style from the 70's, or 80's. However, should it not be American made it might not have a manufacturers stamp on bottom. An antique dealer might help you with its origin.

Looks like a door from a Catholic confessional.

Hodge podge of stylistic touches indicates it is a Chinese export set made to sell in multiple markets. (top reminiscent of Portugese style; legs, oriental; chairs, cross btwn Chinese and Italianate) Likely 80-90's, value maybe $500-800 just as a practical piece of dining ware. That metal run on chair seats is just weird and all the bottom of legs very poor oriental look to them. I personally find the only part of interest is the top. And one of the keys to its origin is how it is placed onto the bottom with that slight curved inset is very oriental in style.

Oriental style circa 80's or early 90's. Check under the seat or tabletop for manufacturer's marks, a high quality set will have them. Most often you will just find model numbers. That bright trim is a dead giveaway that they are not antique.

No, I can't help identify, but can tell you that you're one lucky person for having it. It is BEAUTIFUL.

Could be a Kittinger? If so, you've been blessed. I have one and this is similar.

That is definitely a door cut in half. Chairs, think again they circa 1960-70's

I can also see a resemblance to Kittinger style. Since they make custom furniture.... you never know. They have a contact on their website. http://www.kittingerfurniture.com/

Could be Drexel? Mine is similar but without the decoration on the top.

It's not to thin to be a door if they had to route it to imbed the rest of it to turn it into a table hobbyman?

it looks like a maple wood or some hard wood like a fruit wood. It has an Asian/ oriental influence by the look of the feet and the turn up of the chairs top rail.

Century Furniture is a possibility ...I don't remember the brass trim on the chairs hard to tell the wood looks like maple and cherry mix

Could it be a set from Bert England? He used brass accents, cane backs and cherry wood together: https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/dining-room-chairs/bert-england-forward-trend-six-cane-brass-accented-dining-chairs-1960/id-f_2324382/

In the mid 70s and into the 80s several American furniture manufacturers offered collections styled as "Oriental". Most looked similar to the one pictured. However, most manufacturers also built their dining room table tops in layers of wood set at right angles with the top layer having the most attractive wood pattern. This table, however, looks like it might be a single solid wood top not the usual wood veneer. This Oriental style was very popular and most manufacturers offered at least one collection in their catalog. If it works in your room and you love it, enjoy it as a classic.

All of the furniture manufacturers have a big market in High Point, NC. You might do a bit of research in the furniture market in that area and be able to find out something. Also, have you tried posting the pic on Google?

Yes, it is alot of routing, but if you look close enough you'll see the cuts they used to frame in the panels of the door as opposed to a table , where a craftman would only use long boards that they glue together for a table.
