How many diners can these tables seat?

Capacities vary from ten to over twenty-eight guests, depending on the length and number of pedestals. Large examples measure several metres in length and incorporate multiple original leaves to achieve maximum seating.

Which woods appear most frequently?

Mahogany and flame mahogany dominate the listings, frequently paired with brass hardware and fixtures. Oak, walnut, and cherrywood also appear across Victorian examples and continental refectory formats.
