Antique Victorian Mahogany Extending Dining Table Seats 12

19th century
Description

A magnificent and exceptionally impressive antique Victorian mahogany extending dining table, dating to circa 1860. Beautifully proportioned and of substantial quality, this splendid table extends to an impressive 299 cm (9 ft 10 in), comfortably accommodating up to 12 people, making it a wonderful centrepiece for a grand dining room or country house.

The superb solid mahogany top displays a beautifully figured grain and a rich, warm colour, complemented by an elegant moulded edge and gracefully rounded ends. The table stands on four substantial turned and fluted legs, each featuring beautifully carved gadrooned decoration, raised on original-style brass and porcelain castors.

An especially versatile design, the table is supplied with three additional leaves, each measuring approximately 50 cm, allowing the length to be adjusted to suit different dining occasions. When fully closed, it measures just 147 cm, providing a wonderfully practical dining table for everyday use, while extending to almost three metres for larger gatherings and entertaining.

A truly handsome example of Victorian craftsmanship, combining elegant proportions, beautiful mahogany, substantial construction and the flexibility of a large extending dining table. A particularly desirable piece that would make a magnificent addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

This Victorian dining table dates to 1860 in the English Country House style, formed from solid mahogany with a polished warm brown finish and brass hardware. The substantial rectangular top has a moulded edge and rounded ends, joined by insert leaves and resting on heavy turned legs with gadrooned carving and brass castors. Minor age-related marks appear on the timber surfaces. Measuring 75.5 cm high by 123 cm wide and extending to 299 cm deep with three removable leaves, it seats up to 12 people. In a home today, it functions as a flexible dining table in a large dining room or country house, adapting between daily meals and larger gatherings.

FAQs

Victorian extending dining tables were designed during the 19th century to accommodate expanding family gatherings and formal entertaining. They incorporate mechanical telescopic runners, often operated by a brass crank handle, allowing additional timber leaves to be inserted into the frame.

High-grade dense hardwoods such as West Indian mahogany, oak, and walnut were predominantly utilised for their strength and rich grain patterns. Mechanical elements were fabricated from cast iron or brass, while brass castors were routinely fitted to the legs to facilitate movement.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved or heavy turned legs, original brass castors, and period-correct mechanical winding systems. The leaves should display matching wood grain or consistent patination, and construction details will show hand-planed underside surfaces and traditional joinery.

Pairing a dark timber dining table with contemporary architectural dining chairs creates an intentional balance between historic craftsmanship and modern lines. Position the table over a neutral woven rug to anchor the piece within an open-plan room scheme.

Dust the timber surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply high-grade beeswax polish along the grain twice a year. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to protect the original finish and prevent the timber from warping.
