This late Regency extending dining table comes in a deep brown mahogany timber, measuring 73.7 cm high by 132 cm wide and 366 cm deep when fully extended to twelve feet. The piece accommodates twelve to fourteen seats in a grand dining room setting. Eight turned bobbin legs support the long framework, complemented by fluted and reeded legs raised on brass castors, plus a beaded apron detail running along the base. The rectangular top incorporates four extra leaves with an extending mechanism and two pairs of inner set legs for stability. Visible age and use show on the wooden surfaces through minor surface scuffs and variations in the deep brown polish across the joints of the four leaves. The turned elements on the legs display traditional woodturning patterns, while the brass castors sit beneath the upright supports to allow mobility. The long timber expanse functions as a central dining surface for large family meals and formal dinner gatherings.

FAQs

Late Regency dining tables, produced between roughly 1815 and 1830, are characterised by classical proportions, rich mahogany timber, and innovative extending mechanisms. Maker influences such as Gillows of Lancaster introduced turned and reeded legs, smooth runner systems, and versatile leaf inserts.

These tables were primarily constructed using dense, high-grade West Indian or Cuban mahogany, valued for its grain stability. The internal expanding runners were often fashioned from oak or ash for structural strength, fitted with brass clip fasteners and brass castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit crisp hand-carved leg fluting or reeding, original brass castors secured with iron screws, and hand-cut joinery along the aprons and runner frames. Stamped maker marks or numbered leaves that match the main frame also indicate original period manufacture.

A 12-foot mahogany dining table provides a striking anchor in large dining spaces. Contrast the heavy timber by pairing it with streamlined contemporary dining chairs, neutral wool floor coverings, and modern architectural pendant lighting.

Protect the timber finish by keeping the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping or bleaching. Clean surfaces using a soft cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically, avoiding modern silicone sprays.
