Antique Victorian Oak Dining Table & 2 Leaves, 9ft/seats 12

An attractive Victorian extending dining table in light golden quarter-sawn oak with two original leaves and dating to c.1870. The rounded rectangular top with a moulded edge and decorative tablet above each carved and fluted turned leg, standing on brass caps with Cope & Collinson brown pottery castors. The ‘screw expander’ winding mechanism smoothly extends the table from just under 6ft to nearly 9ft allowing it to seat 10 people (or 12 at a squeeze) if using both leaves.

Sympathetically cleaned and repolished using traditional methods to give a light honey oak colour to the top, medullary rays from the quarter-sawn cut of the oak produce the attractive ‘tiger grain’ pattern to the top. Some minor small /losses splits to veneer on frieze on corners. The castors stamped ‘C&C patent’, leaves stamped to the edges, winder handle included.

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.
