Antique Victorian Mahogany Extending Dining Table with Cabriole Legs – Seats 10

19th century
Description

A superb quality antique Victorian mahogany extending dining table, dating to circa 1860, featuring an elegant rectangular top with beautifully figured mahogany and a rich, warm colour throughout.

The table stands on four particularly attractive and unusually designed cabriole legs, each beautifully shaped with carved scroll detailing, terminating in original-style brass castors. The distinctive legs give the table a wonderfully elegant appearance, setting it apart from more conventional Victorian extending dining tables.

The substantial mahogany top has gently rounded corners and a beautifully polished surface, displaying the attractive natural grain and character of the timber. The table retains its two original additional leaves, allowing it to extend from a practical everyday dining table to a generous ten-seater, making it ideal for both family dining and entertaining.

A particularly handsome and versatile Victorian dining table, combining excellent craftsmanship, elegant proportions and an unusual leg design.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1860s:
Differential fading across the leaves: extra leaves were stored away from light.
Cabriole legs with carved scroll knees: mid-Victorian Rococo revival fashion.
Aged brass castors on the feet: original Victorian movement hardware.
Rounded corners and thumb-moulded edges: popular dining table styling of the 1860s.

This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

FAQs

Victorian extending dining tables typically feature telescopic winding mechanisms operated by a removable brass hand crank, allowing additional leaves to be inserted to accommodate larger gatherings. Popular during the 19th century, these tables often exhibit turned or carved cabriole legs crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut.

Primary construction woods included Cuban and Honduran mahogany, oak, and walnut, prized for their dense grain structures and durability. Internal runner mechanisms were generally executed in solid oak or ash to withstand mechanical strain, supported by solid brass castors.

Authentic 19th-century extending tables feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the framework, original brass telescopic winding screws, and natural patination on untreated timber undersides. Stamped maker marks or patent marks on the winding mechanism also verify historical authenticity.

Pair the rich timber tones of a Victorian table with contemporary upholstered dining chairs or mid-century seating to create a balanced aesthetic. Positioning the table beneath a modern pendant light fixture enhances the contrast between historical craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Maintain the French-polished finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth and applying high-grade beeswax twice yearly along the grain line. Avoid placing hot items or liquids directly onto the timber surface, and position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent movement.
