Sold by James Ribbons Antiques

Description

In all my years of selling this type of dining table I have never seen one with the date stamped and signed by the Cabinet Maker IN this case 2nd May 1859.

He must have been proud to have made it!

There are many superb features regarding this dining table. All four leaves are original and in excellent condition. The brass clips are original as shown being held within the sliding mechanism. The table stables stands on its four original casters. It is almost as it was 164 years ago.

The advantage of this type of dining table is that you can seat as many or few as required.

The table stands so level you could almost play Snooker on it after Christmas lunch!!!
