Description:

This fine quality antique English extending Victorian dining table showcases solid mahogany construction, and it still retains its original winding mechanism and single leaf, so it comfortably seats six people in excellent original condition. Indeed, "Selbat Dining Tables" crafted this piece, and their original makers' label remains clearly visible on the underside of the table frame — a lovely detail that confirms the table's provenance. Furthermore, the extending antique dining table benefits from a solid mahogany top with a stunning rich colour and patination, complete with a moulded edge above a skirt frieze. When you incorporate the single leaf, the antique mahogany dining table seats six by extending to 5ft 11¼" (181cm) — approximately 6ft — or reduces to 4ft 5½" (136cm) with the leaf removed. Four mahogany turned tapering legs raise the antique Victorian table, and fine fluting decorates each leg before it terminates in the original solid brass castor cups and mug castors with porcelain wheels. 

This fine quality antique English Victorian dining table survives in excellent original condition, and it still retains its original winding mechanism plus a single leaf, so it comfortably seats six people. As previously noted, "Selbat Dining Tables" crafted this piece, and their original makers' label remains clearly visible on the underside of the table frame, confirming its provenance. Both the original winding mechanism and its runners work in excellent original condition, and the makers built them to a very high standard. The table also retains its original winding handle. Admittedly, nominal old use marks appear on the leading edges, but these are nothing significant, given the age of the item. The Victorian dining table includes its original single mahogany leaf, and it stands on its original legs and brass castors. In summary, this antique dining table boasts excellent workmanship throughout, remains solid in joint, and stands ready to use.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Victorian extending dining table is a 19th-century dining table engineered with a mechanical winding or pull-out mechanism that allows additional leaves to be inserted to adjust its length.

These tables were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or oak, featuring brass castors, steel or wooden winding screws, and hand-turned fluted legs.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery, heavy solid timber, hand-turned or fluted leg profiles, original brass castors, and period mechanical extension hardware.

Combine the deep tones of rich mahogany wood with contemporary upholstered chairs and neutral textiles to balance modern aesthetics with historic craftsmanship.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax periodically in the direction of the wood grain, while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and moisture.
