Help needed to Identify the Antique Dining Set

Hutch Frieze Hardware

We just purchased an antique dining set, perhaps mahogany, partly solid, partly veneer. Don't know who made it - no stamp anywhere. It came with ribbon-back Hepplewhite style dining chairs and a twin pedestal table. In fact, the chairs may be more Chippendale. The hutch has a break front with an interesting frieze. The hardware is very beautiful as well (with a honeysuckle motif?).

Initially, I thought it might be a Gibbard, a furniture making company now closed. But I also purchased, from a different source, some ribbon-back Gibbard chairs to add to the set, which came with only 4 chairs. The workmanship on those two groups of furniture is definitely different. I now suspect the dining set may have been made in the US or in Europe even.

Any help would be much appreciated.
