Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE VICTORIAN ERA:
Deep acanthus carving on the cabriole knees: mid-Victorian dining room cabinet work.
Turned support legs under the centre frame: typical Victorian telescopic table construction.

This Victorian dining set comprises a large extending table with four leaves and a matching set of sixteen balloon-back chairs. The table is made of warm brown mahogany with a telescoping extension mechanism, raised on acanthus carved, splayed, crowned cabriole legs with scrolled feet and under casters. The chairs have drop-in seats upholstered in tartan fabric in tones of green, brown and beige. The table is 76 cm high, 142 cm wide and 364 cm deep. The leaves show a slight difference in colour. This grand set suits a traditional dining room or a spacious country house interior for hosting large dinner parties and family gatherings. The chairs provide ample seating around the expansive tabletop, which accommodates multiple place settings. The traditional silhouette brings classic British style to a large interior space, while the chairs offer practical seating that can be arranged around the room when not in use.

Victorian dining tables are defined by their solid mahogany construction, substantial proportions, and mechanical extension systems, such as brass winding mechanisms. They typically feature heavy turned or carved legs, often mounted on castors, to support multiple removable leaf insertions for large gatherings.

These sets were primarily constructed from dense West Indian or South American mahogany, favoured for its strength, rich grain patterns, and deep reddish-brown tone. Upholstery traditionally incorporated natural materials such as horsehair padding, webbing, and woven fabric covers.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished joinery, original brass winding mechanisms, and period-correct timber patination showing genuine age. Matching chairs often feature characteristic balloon-back or slip-seat designs with traditional peg or mortise-and-tenon joints.

A large antique table serves as a central focal point in modern dining rooms or open-plan spaces, anchored by neutral wall palettes or contemporary lighting fixtures. Modern interior schemes balance the dark wood with textured upholstery, understated tableware, and minimalist room decor.

Mahogany surfaces require regular dusting with a soft cloth and periodic application of high-grade beeswax polish rubbed in the direction of the grain. To avoid damage, timber should be kept away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight, and liquid spills should be wiped up immediately.
