Antique dining table & chairs auctions: period sets, searched at once

Antique dining sets are collected for the number of matching chairs, whether the table extends with original leaves, and timber, a full set of six or eight matching period chairs with an extending mahogany table is a genuinely useful find and worth searching for specifically, since sets are often split up over time.

Why dining table and chair lots get missed

General sellers often list a table and its chairs separately, or describe a set simply as "dining table, some wear" without stating the chair count or whether leaves are present, so a genuinely complete set can be easy to overlook.

One search across every platform

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. Search "extending dining table," "dining chairs set of 6," a timber, or "antique dining table and chairs" generally and results return across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "antique dining table and chairs": genuine period dining sets with matching chairs, found in one search.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

Alerts: for the sizes or timbers you collect

Save a search (a chair count, a timber, or "antique dining table and chairs" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching dining set lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.

Built for how furniture buyers actually work

Save any lot with one click from search results, export your shortlist as a printable PDF or CSV before a sale, and on the day itself the optional live bridge feeds the auctioneer's asking price into the free bid calculator, so your maximum (with buyer's premium and any applicable taxes included, plus a reminder to check delivery cost for large pieces) is always in front of you.
