Victorian Mahogany 16 Seat Extending Dining Table & 4 Leaves, 12ft

A super quality antique Victorian flame mahogany wind-out extending dining table with four additional leaves and standing on four finely reeded and turned tapering legs. This large 5ft wide table smoothly extends from 5ft 4.5in to just under 12ft by means of a Joseph Fitter ‘screw expander’ winding mechanism allowing it to seat up to 14-16 people with all the leaves in place. With a thumb moulded edge to the top and plain frieze and brass caps and brown porcelain castors to the feet.

With a beautifully figured richly coloured top this table has been sympathetically cleaned and waxed using traditional hand methods and the mechanism serviced. It is also a slightly higher table than most giving more legroom for taller guests. It would also make a fantastic boardroom or conference table.

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.
