Antique Victorian Mahogany Extending Dining Table | Three Leaves

19th century
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique late Victorian extending dining table in mahogany, a handsome and well-proportioned piece of good quality, showcasing fine craftsmanship and graceful carved detail.

The table winds out on its original Joseph Fitter patent screw mechanism of Birmingham, with the brass collar still bearing the maker's name, and comes complete with its winding handle and three additional leaves, taking it from a neat oval table for four to a generous dining table comfortably seating eight to ten.

The oval top has a moulded edge over a plain frieze, and the table stands on four elegant cabriole legs with acanthus-carved knees, finishing in carved ball and claw feet on brass castors.

The mahogany displays a lovely straight grain and a warm, rich colour with a mellow patina, and the three leaves are well matched to the top.

Presented in good condition commensurate with age. A very desirable extending mahogany dining table, perfect for both everyday family dining and entertaining, and a wonderful addition to any dining room or kitchen.

An antique Victorian extending dining table in dark brown mahogany showcases a polished oval top with a moulded edge and three matching leaves, standing on four cabriole legs with acanthus-carved knees, ball and claw feet, and brass castors. The rich timber displays a straight grain and a mellow patina, while the frieze follows the curved outline of the top above the substantial supports. Measuring 74 cm high, 121 cm wide, and 123 cm deep when closed, the piece extends to accommodate larger gatherings. In a contemporary home, the table functions as a practical centrepiece for a formal dining room or a spacious kitchen, serving equally well for everyday family meals and dinner parties. The extension mechanism allows the seating capacity to expand from four up to eight or ten people, adapting easily to different occasions while maintaining its traditional English country house character.

A Victorian extending dining table is a dining room table created during the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901), featuring removable leaves or mechanical runners to expand its length for entertaining.

These tables were primarily constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak. They utilize telescopic wooden runners, often operated by a brass winding crank mechanism, to draw the ends apart and seat additional leaves.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-carved details, heavy timber construction, original brass clips or alignment pins on the leaves, and patinated brass castors beneath the turned or cabriole legs.

Contrast the dark wood tones by pairing the table with streamlined contemporary dining chairs, placing a modern statement pendant light above, and keeping table linens minimal to display the polished timber top.

Clean the surface using a soft microfiber cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain. Protect the timber from direct heat, excess moisture, and direct sunlight to prevent warping and colour fading.
