This Victorian mahogany extending dining table displays a dark red-brown timber finish with a polished surface. The top has rounded corners and a bow-end shape, resting on four heavy turned, reeded, and ring-turned legs with carved detailing at the top blocks and original brass castors on the feet. Additional central support legs with castors sit beneath the extension mechanism. The piece measures 80 cm high, 297 cm wide, and 135 cm deep. Suitable for large dining rooms in a traditional English country house setting, this table accommodates twelve to fourteen guests when fully extended for formal dining and grand entertaining. The mahogany construction combines solid framing with an extending mechanism that allows extra leaves to be added. The restoration work leaves the wood clean and ready for placement in a home today.

FAQs

Victorian extending dining tables typically feature telescopic mechanisms, often operated by a hand crank or winding key, allowing additional leaves to be inserted for increased seating capacity during the 19th century.

These tables were primarily crafted from solid mahogany, walnut, or oak, often featuring brass castors, precision-cut wooden extension slides, and hand-turned or reeded legs.

Authentic pieces generally display period-correct joinery, heavy brass castors, hand-carved turned or reeded legs, and smooth telescopic winding mechanisms marked with maker stamps or mechanical patents.

Balance the rich mahogany timber by pairing the table with contemporary upholstered dining chairs, neutral woven rugs, and minimalist lighting fixtures to create a harmonious blend of period character and modern design.

Preserve the wood by dusting regularly with a soft cloth, applying high-grade beeswax twice yearly along the grain, keeping it away from direct heat sources, and immediately wiping away spills.
