Could cover with" Contact" sticky back plastic - Tile - Paint or Stencil - Decoupage...etc.
Chalk paint it and follow up with a few coats of a good non yellowing polyurethane .
Congratulations on the upgrade!
Rough it up with low grit sand paper, Paint i t then if you can freehand paint go for it or stencils. Then use a top quality sealer on it make sure it is food grade safe. chairs for now put chair cushions on. Down the road you can cover. If you have a JoAnn fabrics in your area, Sign up for mailings they have great sales. Plus you get bonus cpns to use. It all helps. As well sign up for Michaels cpns in your email box. They come weekly.
That all helps
Good Luck!

I love the set. I think I would begin by replacing the top with a really good piece of wood. Even though the drop have curved corners, it would look just as good if they are squared off. With the proper measurements, most hardware stores will cut the wood to your specifications. You could remove and reuse the hardware (hinges). As for the base, I would clean, lightly sand and paint with chalk paint. You can't go wrong with chalk paint.

It's probably veneer. You can paint the legs and chairs and just throw a pretty cloth over the table top
In the picture it looks like medium density fiberboard ( M.D.F. ) with some kind of laminate on it. I haven't had any experience working with M.D.F. might try looking on youtube for information about what you're wanting to do?
Could Paint it using ESP Primer them Undercoat and Topcoat of Gloss or Decoupage or As it is in a Victorian Home , Why not use a Tablecloth (not only
available in Linen, but also Oil Cloth that comes in many Designs and suitable for indoor or out door use.
