Description

This antique walnut dining table is the kind of thing I'm always being asked for & that is a round table that extends to seat a comfortable 8 people. It dates from around the 1890-1910 period & is in excellent original condition. The top section is figured walnut with burr walnut cross banding. There is a nice thick edging underneath the top, which is also on the leaves. This gives the table a much better look & has probably stopped any warping in the past. The top slides apart on bearers, so the leaves just slot in on dowels & you can have one or two leaves in. There are four tapered column supports below, that sit on a shaped platform base, which has small turnings on the corners & this base sits on small bun feet. When extended, the base will just pull apart in the middle at the same time as the top is being pulled out. The are one or two metal mechanisms underneath the top & the base, which release the item for extension, plus to hold it together better. The two middle leaves have a slightly darker shade than the outside & I should think it's because the table was probably closed a lot, so would have had a lot more fading. The whole piece has been French polished, the leaves are flat, no splitting & it's very stable.

Width - 46", 117 cm (Each leaf - 18", 46 cm)

Depth - 46", 117 cm

Height - 29.5", 75 cm
