Magnificent Large Burr Walnut Extending Oval Dining Table

1940 - 1960
Description

Magnificent Large Burr Walnut Extending Oval Dining Table – Attributed to Arthur Brett

Item Code: LC1478

An impressive and exceptionally large burr walnut extending oval dining table, attributed to Arthur Brett, beautifully crafted in the Regency style and offering remarkable versatility for both formal dining and entertaining.

The magnificent oval top is veneered in richly figured burr walnut, displaying superb grain patterns and warm, golden-brown tones. The surface is further enhanced by a broad contrasting crossbanded border, outlined with fine stringing, which follows the elegant oval shape of the table.

The table stands on a substantial and beautifully constructed base, featuring decorative carved supports with lattice detailing, united by sweeping curved stretchers with moulded decoration. Elegant outswept legs terminate in brass paw feet, completing the classical design.

Supplied with ten additional leaves, the table can be dramatically extended from an already generous 278cm to an extraordinary 450cm in length, with the width increasing from 191cm to 314cm. This makes it an exceptional centrepiece for a grand dining room, country house or substantial entertaining space.

A magnificent statement piece combining beautifully figured timber, traditional craftsmanship and remarkable proportions.

This grand Regency Revival dining table is constructed from warm brown burr walnut with contrasting satinwood crossbanding. The immense oval top displays richly figured grain patterns and fine stringing along the edge, supported by splayed pedestal legs fitted with brass claw castors. Measuring 75 cm high, 450 cm wide and 314 cm deep, it provides a substantial surface for large gatherings and banquets. Designed for a spacious dining room, country house or large entertaining venue, the table accommodates numerous guests with ease. The impressive scale and classic timber tones suit formal interiors requiring a commanding centrepiece for dinner parties and hosting.

Burr walnut furniture became prominent during the William and Mary period and experienced a major resurgence in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Characterised by highly figured wood cut from root growths or tree burls, these pieces showcase complex swirl patterns and rich tonal depth favoured for formal dining rooms.

These tables typically feature solid hardwood substrates layered with thin burr walnut veneers to prevent warping. Traditional construction includes hand-fitted crossbanding in lighter woods such as satinwood or boxwood, supported by splayed pedestal legs mounted on heavy brass castors.

Authentic period or high-quality revival pieces feature hand-cut joinery, solid wood leaf extension mechanisms, and genuine brass castor hardware. Look for natural variations in the veneer grain pattern and honest wear along the pedestal bases and table edges.

Position the table in the centre of a spacious dining room or boardroom, anchoring it with a large textured neutral rug beneath. Pair with contemporary upholstered dining chairs or classic leather seating to create a balanced juxtaposition between historic woodwork and modern textures.

Maintain the table finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a quality beeswax polish twice yearly along the grain. Keep the table away from direct sunlight, radiators, or extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent veneer lifting or cracking.
