Victorian Oak Dining Table & 2 Leaves, 6ft 10/Seats 8

An attractive late Victorian small wind-out extending dining table in quarter-sawn oak with two original leaves and dating to c.1880. With an Arts & Crafts influence it has a rectangular top with canted corners and a moulded edge and stands on four ring-turned tapering baluster shaped legs with brass caps and brown pottery castors. This family size 41in wide table smoothly extends from 4.5ft to 6ft 10in using a Joseph Fitter ‘screw expander’ winding mechanism allowing it to seat up to 8 people if using both leaves.

With a lovely warm colour and super pattern to the timbers it has been recently polished and waxed by hand using traditional materials. Medullary rays from the quarter-sawn cut of the oak produce the attractive golden ‘tiger grain’ pattern. Good size for dining room or as a kitchen table.

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.
