What characterises a Regency pedestal dining table?

Regency pedestal dining tables, popular during the early 19th century, feature central turned pillars supported by reeded splayed legs, often fitted with brass castors and designed to accommodate extension leaves.

What materials were traditionally used in Regency dining table construction?

Flame mahogany was the primary wood utilised for table surfaces due to its rich grain and colour, paired with solid timber frameworks and cast brass brassware such as caps and castors.

How can you identify an authentic Regency pedestal table?

Authentic examples feature original brass hardware, bearer rails underneath the tabletop, turned pedestals with hand-carved reeding, and appropriate age-related wear to the original finish.

How can a large antique dining table be styled in a modern interior?

A substantial mahogany dining table serves as a dramatic focal point in a formal dining room or open-plan space, especially when paired with contemporary seating or minimalist overhead lighting.

How should a mahogany antique dining table be cared for and maintained?

Protect the polished wood surface from heat and moisture using table mats, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year.

Description

An exceptional and very large antique Regency mahogany four pedestal dining table of outstanding quality and scale. The table is beautifully constructed in finely figured mahogany with a rich warm colour and superb natural grain throughout the top.

The table stands on four elegant turned pedestal bases with reeded sabre legs terminating in original brass caps and castors. Each pedestal supports a section of the table and the ingenious extending mechanism allows the table to be used at various lengths depending on the number of leaves inserted.

The underside retains the original stamped locking hinges marked Bullock, Tonks & Bedington Patent, a well known Birmingham manufacturer of high quality iron fittings during the Regency period. The pedestals are numbered I, II, III and IV so the table can be assembled correctly.

With three additional leaves the table extends to an impressive length and can comfortably seat up to twenty four people, making it ideal for a large dining room, boardroom or grand entertaining space.

The proportions, quality of the mahogany and elegant Regency design make this a particularly impressive example of an early nineteenth century extending dining table.

Condition

Very good antique condition with light age related wear. The table is structurally sound and presents beautifully with a rich colour and patina.
