Description
Pierre Jeanneret Dining Table & Ten Chairs with Certificate by Jacques Dworczak 1954
Magnificent mid-century modern furniture design by Pierre Jeanneret, specifically the Model: PJ020112 Teak Rectangular Dining Table, also known as the "Committee Table," and a set of ten Model: PJ010803 Teak Armchairs, referred to as the ‘Committee Chair' hailing from Chandigarh, India, around the mid-20th century, during a period when Jeanneret collaborated closely with his cousin, the renowned architect Le Corbusier, on the comprehensive urban planning and architectural design of the city.
The Committee Table, crafted circa 1963-64, is a testament to skilled craftsmanship and design ingenuity, made from solid teak and teak veneer. Its rectangular top, constructed from thick veneer, is supported by a unique criss-crossed framework that slots into the base, secured firmly with nuts and bolts. The table stands on crossed legs that feature the signature ‘V’ motif—a design element frequently echoed in Le Corbusier's architectural and furniture designs, symbolizing strength and stability. This motif not only adds a decorative element but also reinforces the structural integrity of the table. The base is connected by two full-length stretchers, ensuring robust support. Original markings on the table edge and legs—K.U.K./LIB/T:12—attest to its historical and cultural significance, marking its original use and location.
Accompanying the table is a set of ten Committee Chairs, produced around 1953-54, showcasing a distinctive design with tall ‘Compass’ style legs that form an inverted ‘V’ shape. This design supports the armrests and features stuff-over "Roll" arm covers, marrying functionality with elegance. The chairs bear original markings under the back rail, indicating their provenance and adding to their authenticity.
This furniture set has undergone professional restoration, adhering to the highest standards to preserve its historical value and aesthetic appeal. Each piece comes with a comprehensive set of pre-restoration images and a certificate of authenticity, ensuring its legitimacy and value. The official certification by Jacques Dworczak adds an additional layer of provenance, making this set a coveted collectible.
The provenance of these pieces are deeply rooted in Chandigarh's history, with the table originating from the Assembly in Sector 1, and the chairs from the High Court, administrative buildings in Sector 1, and Panjab University in Sector 14. This connection to significant architectural landmarks in Chandigarh underscores the cultural and historical importance of the set, making it a remarkable addition to any collection.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
