Victorian Mahogany Extending Dining Table - 14ft

A magnificent English wind-out extending dining table. This large 14ft x 5ft wide dining table stands on six super turned and fluted legs still fitted with their original brass and ceramic castors. It features a double winding mechanism by Joesph Fitter of Birmingham and five leaves which takes it to 14ft but it will extend further to at least 15ft. This was originally a military campaign table which means that if required it can be dismantled and moved or stored relatively easily.

This table does have some minor marks and scratches to the polish work and are offered in original condition.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
