How many people can sit at these tables?

Seating capacity ranges from ten guests up to twenty-eight guests depending on the length of the top and the number of extra leaves inserted. Larger formats utilise four to six pedestals to support spans exceeding sixteen feet comfortably.

How do extending leaves work?

Leaves drop into the centre of the table when the pillars pull apart on wooden or metal runners. Original leaves matching the grain and colour of the main top are prized for maintaining a uniform appearance.

What periods do these tables come from?

The selection spans from George III and Regency periods through the Victorian era and into Edwardian and later twentieth-century revivals. Georgian and Regency pieces feature classical proportions, whilst Victorian examples often provide massive proportions for large rooms.

Are these tables suitable for daily use?

Solid mahogany and oak constructions provide the robust foundation necessary for frequent dining and family gatherings. Brass castors and sturdy pillar configurations allow the massive weight to move safely across floor surfaces when required.
