Description

A large Victorian wind-out extending dining table in golden quarter-sawn oak with four additional leaves and winding handle. The rectangular top with canted or cut corners and a double moulded edge, it stands on five substantial turned legs. This 47 5/8in wide table extends from just under 6ft to 12ft by means of a twin ‘screw expander’ winding mechanism and strong mahogany runners. Any number of the leaves can be used and the table will seat up to 14 people if using all four leaves.

With a warm golden colour and attractive ‘tiger grain’ pattern produced from the medullary rays revealed in the quarter-sawn cut of the oak, the top has been recently polished and waxed by hand using traditional materials and has had some restorations to the mouldings. This table offers slightly more legroom than most tables we have seen.

Dealers Notes

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.
