Athens Table Co. Hitchcock-Style Drop-Leaf Dining Set, 1972, Table + 4 Chairs
Annihilate the landfill, Annihilate the landfill, gather 'round this stenciled slice of New England tradition.
Straight out of a 1972 Tennessee workshop with serious Colonial Revival aspirations. This Athens Table Co. drop-leaf set delivers that classic Hitchcock look—black-painted maple frames with gold stenciled fruit motifs on the crest rails, blonde maple seats that have held up beautifully. The oval table expands with both leaves up, collapses for apartment living when needed. Fifty-two years of honest wear shows in some gold striping touch-ups and minor edge wear on the paint, but structurally these are rock solid. H-stretchers intact on all four chairs.
The D'Beetle Difference
• Documented Maker And Date: Original Athens Table Co. production label intact, dated 8/22/72. Item #4800—quality assurance stamp means this wasn't bottom-shelf production.
• Space-Smart Drop-Leaf Design: Oval top with two drop leaves on gate-leg supports. Compact when folded, generous when you need to seat the whole crew.
• Classic Hitchcock Stenciling: Gold fruit-and-leaf motifs hand-stenciled on each chair's crest rail. Bamboo-turned spindles and splayed legs with ring turnings throughout.
