This Victorian extending dining table belongs to the 1850 period and is constructed from mahogany with brass fittings and original brass cup castors. The timber displays a polished warm brown colour with a reflective finish, showing the natural grain across the top surface which features rounded corners. The framework stands on turned, carved legs decorated with foliage motifs and rests on castors. Brass clips hold the leaves in place when the table extends. The dealer text notes that the table pulls out to extend and comes with three leaves, reaching a maximum length of 320 cm. In a contemporary home, this piece functions as a dining table placed in a dining room or kitchen to seat guests for meals and gatherings. The extension mechanism allows the surface area to adapt according to the number of people dining. Buyers can incorporate the table into traditional or English country house interiors to host dinner parties, family meals or holiday celebrations. The size measures 74 cm high, 138 cm wide, and 320 cm deep when fully extended.
