This mix of period elements works surprisingly well-- the room as a whole looks like every cog was meant to be there, but when you separate the pieces, there is a lot of diversity. From what I can tell, the table is (probably a reproduction of) an old European design, perhaps as old as the medieval era? The subtle designs on the upper portion of the wall harken to that era as well. I wish I could see more of the fireplace and the door; they look like classic elements too. The architecture is Art Deco, what with the high ceilings and the deep, sharply angled windows. Both the hanging platform for the candles and the seats are more modern, maybe from the 1990s- now. The differences flow together extraordinarily well.
This dining room has a restrained grandeur that is wonderfully atmospheric. I imagine it would be even better at night with all of the candles and the fireplace blazing.
