This Regency dining table is an exceptionally large Imperial Gillows extending piece made from mahogany with a warm brown timber colour and a wax finish. The table has a well-figured top with a reeded edge, supported by ten vertically fluted, turned reeded legs that terminate with small round brass castors. Removable leaves allow the telescopic extension mechanism to adjust the length, and the frame shows minor signs of age across the long timber surfaces. The piece measures 74 cm high, 143 cm wide, and 582 cm deep when fully extended with its eight leaves. In a modern home, this grand item serves as a principal dining table in a spacious formal dining room or banquet hall, providing comfortable seating for twenty-two people during large dinner parties and family gatherings.

FAQs

An Imperial extending dining table utilises a telescopic wooden mechanism patented in the early nineteenth century, allowing the table top to expand significantly via removable leaves supported by an expanding underframe.

These tables were typically crafted from solid mahogany, featuring reeded or turned legs fitted with brass castors and precision-cut mortise and tenon joinery to support large expanses of timber.

Authentic Gillows pieces frequently feature stamped maker marks on the drawer edges, table leaves, or leg tops, alongside characteristic high-quality brass hardware and precision-engineered extension mechanisms.

A substantial mahogany table serves as a main centrepiece in modern dining rooms when paired with streamlined contemporary dining chairs, neutral woven textiles, and minimalist lighting overhead.

Maintain mahogany by dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and applying beeswax along the grain twice yearly, while keeping the table away from direct sunlight and central heating sources.
