London City Antiques has dated this Victorian Mahogany Dining Table to the 1880s.
This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.
The table retains its two original extension leaves, allowing it to extend from a generous eight-seater dining table to an impressive 14-seater, ideal for large gatherings and entertaining.
The table stands on four beautifully shaped cabriole legs, each featuring exceptionally attractive carved scroll and acanthus decoration to the knees, terminating in substantial carved claw and ball feet. The sweeping curves of the legs and the quality of the carving give the table a particularly distinguished appearance.
The deep mahogany frieze complements the elegant outline of the top, while the substantial construction and generous proportions reflect the quality of Victorian cabinetmaking.
A wonderfully versatile dining table, equally suited to an elegant country house dining room or a contemporary interior, where its rich mahogany colour and beautifully carved details would create a striking focal point.
An impressive example of Victorian craftsmanship, combining exceptional decorative appeal with the practicality of an extending dining table.
Condition Report
Very good antique condition, with a beautifully polished mahogany surface, rich colour and attractive grain. The carved cabriole legs, claw and ball feet and original extension leaves present well, with minor age-related marks and wear consistent with its age.
