Victorian Oak Extending Dining Table & 3 Leaves, 10ft/seats 12

An attractive mid Victorian wind-out extending dining table in quarter-sawn oak and dating to c.1870. With a rectangular top with rounded corners and a moulded edge it stands on four Arts & Crafts style ring-turned tapering legs with brass caps and brown pottery castors. This super 4ft 2in wide table smoothly extends from just under 5ft to 10ft using a Joseph Fitter ‘screw expander’ winding mechanism and strong mahogany runners allowing it to comfortably seat up to 12 people if using all three leaves.

With a good deep golden colour it has been recently polished and waxed by hand using traditional materials. Medullary rays from the quarter-sawn cut of the oak produce the attractive golden ‘tiger grain’ pattern.

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.
