Check out Bombo stools they make them in 2 adjustable heights . They are from Herman Miller.

How many/often do you normally seat for a meal or a dinner party, formal or informal, how big is your space, etc? My favourite tables are called "Irish Georgian Wake Tables." They run to tens of thousands for a real table from Ireland made in the late 1700s to early 1800s, but modern ones are a lot less. They're endlessly versatile, lovely to sit small or larger groups at, easy to decorate, and when not in use they sit tidily against a wall, great for a buffet or fork supper. They come in numerous styles, too, of course. Your chairs (which are wonderful to look at, so I hope they're comfortable!) would lend themselves to the elegant simplicity of Irish/Scottish Georgian furniture, more than, say, Elizabethan or its later knock-off iterations, which are generally heavy and dark. I wouldn't upholster them in any sort of light-coloured fabric, if you want it to stay pristine. ;)

We have a colonial house with some danish modern furniture plus Persian rugs and a french 18th-century table, modern and traditional art. I like it because it doesn't look like it was bought at any one store. You can totally mix looks and honor history. I like the other suggestion of reducing the number of chairs (just bring them out when you need them) and modern pads and fabric. I would keep the table, put some color on the wall, and maybe an oil painting. If you do travel photos, maybe do a few really large ones vs. a lot of little ones. And make sure they are really classy, not just shots of grinning people. More formal art will help balance the formal table. And the wall could be darker to complement the wood (warm yellow (BM Country Comfort) or goldish?). My living room is BM peau de soie which looks pretty nice without being overwhelming (dove white trim).
