At first glance, these dining chairs look like Hans Wenger model JH 507's for Johannes Hansen, but there are several subtle differences - the fronts of the arm rests are more squared off, and the tops of the back rests are rounded off cubes, not dowel-shaped, for example.

These are the best photos I have at the moment, but I think you can probably see the armrests have a slight flare.

Wegner had over 500 different chair designs, but even so, I'm guessing this is a case of another designer "borrowing" or being inspired by the JH 507.

I have also not been able to find a comp on the draw leaf extension table with its exact trestle base.

The whole dining set is from a single estate. It was purchased in the 1960s for a (then) new high-end Mid-Century home in Denver. Any help with identifying much appreciated. Thanks.

Definitely not Wegner. The design is close enough to the JH 507 that it could have been a direct inspiration. The sharp edges of framing members for both chairs and table look US-made to me.
