Arts & Crafts Extending Oak Dining Table & 4 Leaves - 12ft, Seats 14-16

A super late Victorian extending dining table in quarter-sawn oak with four additional leaves and dating to c.1880. In the Arts & Crafts taste with canted corners to the rectangular top and a moulded edge it stands on four ring-turned and reeded baluster shaped legs with studded brass caps and brown pottery castors. A Joseph Fitter winding screw mechanism smoothly extends the table from 5ft9 to 12ft allowing it to seat up to 14-16 people if using all four leaves.

Repolished fairly recently but still showing signs of age and use including some slight watermarks to the top and some shrinkage lines to the legs and frieze. Impressed with the number 2527 and the leaves stamped with Roman numerals this table has a beautiful grain to the top with clear medullary rays, it could be stripped and repolished to a lighter colour if preferred.

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.
