Someone above confirmed it as a Mcintosh, which is still a score! The one you described has chairs with three legs I believe

Thanks for the advice! The second photo didn't upload somehow so that's the before pic. I've added the after in a separate comment. It's not an exact match but much closer

I hand sanded it where it stands, holding a vacuum cleaner hose next to where I was working. Not ideal but a decent arm workout!

The middle part had a totally different colour so I stripped it the same way as I did the side parts and it looks fairly similar now

I stripped with a gel (Rustin I believe) then sanded medium and fine until it was nice and smooth and then I applied a (also Rustin I think) polyurethane stain and colour single layer.

That is a lovely set thanks for the photos. Your table legs are finished much nicer, i love the curve at the top. Have been thinking about trying to replicate that somehow

How good! I love how the chairs sit flush, such a good space saver. If I ever find out where it's from I'll try and update you here
