This George II period extending dining table is attributed to Gillows of Lancashire and London and dates from the 19th century in the Regency style. The piece is constructed from fine flame-figured mahogany with a warm brown finish, comprising end sections, a three-section drop-leaf centre, and a removable table leaf with a rounded corner top. The table stands on crisply hand-carved reeded tapered legs fitted with original brass cups and castors. Practical dimensions measure 73.5 cm high, 361 cm wide, and 137 cm deep, providing seating for fourteen to sixteen people. In a contemporary home, this large dining table serves as a functional centrepiece in a spacious dining room or banquet hall for hosting large gatherings and formal meals. The modular configuration allows the table to be adjusted with additional leaves according to seating requirements.

FAQs

Extending dining tables produced by Gillows of Lancaster and London are noted for precision craftsmanship and wooden slide mechanisms, allowing banquet tables to expand or contract using extra insertion leaves.

These tables were constructed using solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over oak or pine sub-frames, accented with brass castors and brass leaf clips.

Authentic Regency pieces often feature stamped maker marks on drawer tops or frame rails, hand-cut dovetails, reeded leg turnings, and original brass wheel castors.

Position the table beneath a contemporary pendant light and pair it with minimalist modern chairs to create a clear visual contrast between dark timber and clean lines.

Keep the timber surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources, wipe up spills immediately, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain.
