How do I extend a multi-pillar dining table?

The top pulls apart along internal wooden or brass tracks to create a gap in the centre. Additional loose leaves drop into this space to increase the overall length. Support legs shift outward as the table expands to maintain structural balance. Once the leaves are aligned, securing clips lock the sections together firmly.

Can I remove leaves for everyday use?

Extra leaves lift out easily when large banquet seating is unnecessary, allowing the table to shrink down to a twin pedestal or D-end format. This adaptability makes large tables suitable for daily dining as well as hosting. Stored leaves require careful climate control to prevent warping. Keeping them in a stable room ensures they fit back into the table mechanism seamlessly.

How do I care for a polished mahogany surface?

Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth preserves the polished finish of mahogany and rosewood surfaces. Avoid chemical sprays that can degrade historic polishes over time. Using felt pads under hot dishes and placemats protects the timber from moisture and heat damage. Wax application periodically feeds the grain and maintains the deep lustre.

How do I tell an original period table from a revival?

Construction marks, timber ageing, and secondary woods inside the frame reveal the period of manufacture. Original Georgian and Regency pieces show hand-cut joinery and period-appropriate wear patterns. Revival pieces from the early twentieth century often utilise standardised machine-cut elements and modern screws while replicating nineteenth-century proportions and styling.
