James Ribbons Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.
Our cabinet maker could easily either darken the centre section to match the end leaves or lighten the end sections to match the existing colour of the top. This I think would be favourite as the main table top is a lovely golden oak colour. However the choice is up to the buyer to decide. This work would be included in the cost of the table.

The table measure
118 ins when fully extended
71 ins when shut
39 ins wide
This table would seat 14 very comfortably and 16 at a push!
This table also has the advantage of the herring bone stretcher which enables the chairs to be placed under the table when not in use.
