French 8 to 10 Seater C19th Extending Dining Table

Lovely 19th century French Louis xv style "drawer" leaf extending dining table or would be a great kitchen table too.

Good size as the table will seat 8 with the leaves shut, but by pulling the leaves out from under the top, you can then seat 10 or possibly 12 if you don't mind being cosy!

The table top is panelled, rather than the later c20th models which tend to be parquet tops. Made in fruitwood and with a scalloped edge and the leaves are in a pitch pine with a matching scallop edge to match. Great carved frame too with a good colour tone and beeswax finish.

The table does have some age related marks, but on a table such as this, more of a country feel, the age marks look right so I have left them and just waxed over to give a lovely deep glow.

The table does have a good clearance from the floor, so there is leg room, but if you are concerned it is no problem for the raise the table a little for you. Do get in touch to discuss if required ( but a standard chair with a standard human sitting on it will be fine! ).

Measuring:

29 3/4” or 75.5 high

33” or 84cm wide

103” or 261cm length with leaves drawn out

67” or 170cm leaves stowed underneath

Kneehole height 22 1/2” or 57cm
