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 large extending oval dining table dates from 1950 and is built in the Grand Regency style using burr walnut timber and brass. The oval top is finished in a warm brown colour with a figured burr walnut veneer and a contrasting crossbanded border. The base consists of pedestal legs that terminate in brass paw feet, with decorative carved supports displaying lattice detailing and moulded curved stretchers. The table measures 75 cm high, 450 cm wide, and 314 cm deep. Designed for entertaining, this piece serves as a formal dining table suitable for a large dining room or substantial entertaining space. The ten additional leaves allow the surface area to adapt for hosting guests, while the classical design elements provide a formal aesthetic for large gatherings.

A burr walnut extending dining table is a formal dining surface incorporating highly figured veneers cut from walnut burl growths, supported by a framework with mechanisms allowing the insertion of additional leaves to expand capacity.

These pieces feature solid timber groundwork, such as oak or mahogany, overlaid with decorative burr walnut veneers, inlaid crossbanding along the edges, and pedestal supports equipped with brass castors.

Authenticity is indicated by naturally varied wood grain patterns, historical joinery on sliding extension mechanisms, age-consistent patination beneath the tabletop, and hand-applied finishes such as French polish.

Anchor the table in a central dining area and contrast the rich timber finish with contemporary upholstered chairs or minimalist lighting fixtures to balance traditional and modern design elements.

Protect the surface from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or colour fading, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply high-grade beeswax polish periodically.
