Furnish a Complete Baroque Dining Room: Table, Chairs, Showcase, Console and Chandelier from a Single Source
A baroque dining room is the most festive stage in the whole house. This is where guests gather at a long table, where the meal is served and status is shown, and where the baroque style appears in its most complete form. Only the interplay of dining table, chairs, showcase, console and chandelier turns individual pieces into a coherent ensemble that radiates rank and hospitality. At Barockgrosshandel you furnish exactly this ensemble in full, with coordinated reproductions in Casa Padrino quality.
As a specialised wholesaler, we supply the complete baroque dining room to resellers, hoteliers, restaurateurs, interior designers and private enthusiasts. Because all furniture types are available in series, a dining room can be planned as a whole: the right table for the desired number of guests, a matching set of chairs, a showcase for porcelain and glassware, a console as a sideboard and the chandelier above the table. This page walks you through every element, the planning of table size, the lighting and the contract use, and links directly into the relevant shop categories.
What defines a baroque dining room as an ensemble
Unlike a single piece of furniture, the baroque dining room lives from harmony. The dining table forms the centre around which everything is arranged: the chairs give it contour, the showcase frames the room, the console serves as a sideboard, and the chandelier sets the vertical crown above the table. Only when the design language, colour world and gilding of these pieces match does the calm, festive overall impression emerge that distinguishes a baroque dining room.
Historically, the dining hall was the place where a house showed its rank. We take up this idea: our reproductions translate the opulence of historical models into robust, everyday-suitable furniture that can be planned as a coordinated suite. This gives you a unified picture rather than a collection of individual pieces.
The five elements: table, chairs, showcase, console and chandelier
A complete baroque dining room consists of five load-bearing components. The dining table sets the scale and style, with carved aprons, curved or turned legs and a solid top. The chairs surround it as a uniform set, slender side chairs along the long sides, imposing armchairs at the heads. The showcase holds porcelain, glasses and silver and brings them into view behind glass.
The console stands against the wall as a sideboard: it carries serving platters, carafes or candlesticks and provides surface for the festive service. Above everything hangs the chandelier, which lights the table and crowns the room. These five elements can be added individually or planned together as an ensemble, depending on whether you are furnishing a dining room from scratch or completing an existing one.
Planning table size and number of guests correctly
The most important planning decision in the dining room is the table size. As a rule of thumb, allow about 60 to 70 cm of table width per place setting, so every guest has comfortable room and freedom of movement. A table of around 180 cm in length thus seats six people, roughly 240 cm is enough for eight, and long tables from 300 cm accommodate ten guests or more. For the depth, around 90 to 110 cm is sensible so there is room in the middle for platters, carafes and decoration.
The clearance around the table matters just as much: allow at least 80 to 100 cm between the table edge and the wall or showcase, so chairs can be pulled out and service can pass. Anyone wanting to stay flexible chooses an extendable dining table that stays compact day to day and grows to full length for festive occasions. The exact dimensions of each model are listed with the product in the shop, which makes precise planning of the table and seating arrangement easier.
Lighting above the table: the chandelier as a crown
No baroque dining room without a chandelier. It is not only a light source but the design centre above the table. Decisive for the effect is the hanging height: above a dining table the chandelier ideally hangs so that its lower edge sits about 75 to 85 cm above the tabletop, high enough to keep the view across the table clear, low enough to bring warm light and sparkling brilliance onto the table.
The diameter of the chandelier should suit the table width: as a rough guide, choose a fixture that measures about half to two thirds of the table width, so it fills the table without appearing too heavy. Above very long banquet tables, two or three smaller chandeliers in a row set a rhythmic, festive accent. Warm white light and, where possible, dimmable bulbs underline the cosiness of the baroque style.
Coordinating materials, styles and colour worlds
For the ensemble to appear unified, the material and finish of the furniture should harmonise. Table, chairs, showcase and console are made of solid hardwood, carved, primed and refined with gold leaf, silver leaf or a deeply lacquered surface. Choose a consistent leading colour, such as classic cream with gold, deep mahogany or a modern black and gold, and carry it through all the pieces.
Among the styles, the more opulent Louis XIV and Louis XV forms can be combined with the stricter, more geometric Louis XVI lines, as long as gilding and upholstery colour match. The upholstery fabrics of the chairs, whether velvet, chenille or patterned baroque fabric, ideally pick up a tone that recurs in curtains, carpet or wall colour. This creates a dining room that, despite all its splendour, appears calm and coherent.
Baroque dining rooms for hotels, restaurants and contract use
In the contract sector, the complete baroque dining room is a powerful instrument of staging. In the hotel trade, baroque tables shape breakfast halls, banquet rooms and suites; in restaurants and cafés they create an unmistakable setting; and in retail design they enhance showrooms and salons. Because our models are robustly built and available in series, they are ideal for multiple fit-outs where a uniform, high-quality appearance across many places matters.
For intensive contract use, hard-wearing chair covers, well-upholstered seats and, where possible, easy-care surfaces are recommended. From the single showpiece table in a restaurant to the continuous furnishing of several banquet rooms, we tailor models, quantities and delivery times to your project. Uniform sets of chairs and matching tables can be reliably reordered, which is decisive on larger projects.
Ordering the baroque dining room as a complete solution
The great advantage at Barockgrosshandel: you furnish the dining room as a whole instead of gathering pieces from different sources. Table, chair set, showcase, console and chandelier come from a coordinated range, so that style, colour and gilding match. This saves planning effort and secures a coherent result.
Whether you are furnishing a private dining room from scratch or fully equipping a contract space: we put together the matching suite and advise on dimensions, quantities and combinations. For larger quantities and projects we prepare an individual quotation. In this way you order a complete baroque dining room from a single source, with consistent quality and reliable reordering.
Care and value retention in the dining room
A baroque dining room stays beautiful for a long time with little effort. Clean gilded and lacquered wooden surfaces on the table, chairs, showcase and console with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, without harsh or abrasive agents that would attack the finish. On the tabletop, coasters and table runners protect against heat, moisture and scratches, especially in daily use.
Depending on the material, the chairs' upholstery covers are vacuumed regularly and gently cleaned in case of stains. A streak-free glass cleaner keeps the showcase glass clear, and interior lighting stages the porcelain and glasses. Avoid permanent direct sunlight and high humidity so that colours, wood and glue stay stable, and occasionally tighten the joints on heavily used chairs.

Frequently asked questions about the baroque dining room
What belongs to a complete baroque dining room?
A complete baroque dining room consists of five elements: the dining table as the centre, a uniform set of chairs, a showcase for porcelain and glasses, a console as a sideboard and a chandelier above the table. At Barockgrosshandel all pieces come from a coordinated range and can be ordered as an ensemble.
How large does the dining table need to be for the desired number of guests?
As a rule of thumb, allow about 60 to 70 cm of table width per place setting. A table of around 180 cm seats six people, roughly 240 cm is enough for eight, and tables from 300 cm accommodate ten guests or more. For the depth, 90 to 110 cm is sensible so platters and decoration fit in the middle.
How high should the chandelier hang above the dining table?
Ideal is a hanging height at which the lower edge of the chandelier sits about 75 to 85 cm above the tabletop. This keeps the view across the table clear and lets the light fall warmly on the setting. The diameter should measure about half to two thirds of the table width.
How much space do I need around the table?
Allow at least 80 to 100 cm between the table edge and the wall or showcase, so the chairs can be pulled out and service can pass. In spaces with heavy through traffic, this clearance may be more generous.
Can I order the dining room as a complete ensemble?
Yes. You furnish the baroque dining room as a whole, with table, chair set, showcase, console and chandelier from a coordinated range. We put together the matching suite, advise on dimensions and combinations and prepare an individual quotation for larger projects.
Do different baroque styles fit together in one dining room?
Yes, as long as gilding, colour world and upholstery tone harmonise. Opulent Louis XIV and Louis XV forms can be combined with stricter Louis XVI lines. A consistent leading colour across table, chairs, showcase and console is important so the ensemble appears unified.
Is a baroque dining room suitable for restaurants and hotels?
Especially so. Our furniture is robustly built and made for intensive contract use. In breakfast halls, banquet rooms and restaurants it creates a high-quality atmosphere. For multiple fit-outs we supply uniform chair sets and matching tables in series.
Are the dining tables extendable?
Many models are extendable and stay compact day to day while growing to full length for festive occasions. Whether and how far a table can be extended is stated in the technical details of the respective product in the shop.
How do I care for the furniture in the dining room?
Clean gilded and lacquered wooden surfaces with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, without harsh agents. Protect the tabletop with coasters and runners against heat and scratches, vacuum upholstery according to its material and clean the showcase glass streak-free. Avoid permanent sunlight and high humidity.
Do you sell a baroque dining room to private customers too?
Yes. As a baroque wholesaler we are geared towards resellers, hotels, restaurants and contract furnishers, but we also furnish private dining rooms. For complete suites and larger projects we are happy to prepare an individual quotation.
