How do these tables extend?

Many tables utilise pedestals and pillars that pull apart to accept additional timber leaves. Some incorporate patent actions designed to simplify the expansion process. Other examples use modular sections like demi lune ends that separate or lock together according to dining needs.

How many people do they seat?

The sizes vary from standard dining formats to large tables measuring eight feet in length. Certain examples are noted as seating up to twelve people when fully extended. Modular designs allow owners to adjust the length depending on the number of guests.

Which periods are represented?

The listings span the eighteenth century and nineteenth century, encompassing Georgian, Regency, and George IV styles. Dates range from around eighteen hundred through to the early nineteenth century. Each period brings slight shifts in leg forms, pillar styles, and mechanical complexity.
