Based on your images of this set, it is in a style often referred to as "Jacobean Revival". The style getting it's name from the fact it was loosely designed to resemble furniture made during the reign of James the 1st ( 1603-24), but uses design elements found on furniture made until the late 17th Century under the reigns of Charles I and Charles II as well.
Jacobean Revival furniture has been in continuous production in both England and the USA since the last quarter of the 19th Century ( Circa 1875), Production for pieces like this seems to have peaked before World War two (1939).
