How many people do these tables seat?

These large tables typically accommodate anywhere from ten up to twenty-two guests, depending on the length and the number of extra leaves inserted. Multi-pedestal designs and refectory forms provide the necessary expanse and structural support for substantial seating arrangements.

How do I operate an extending table?

Extending tables utilise internal wooden runners that pull apart to create a gap in the centre where additional leaves drop or slide into place. Brass clips or alignment pins often secure the leaves tightly to ensure a level and stable surface across the entire length.

What is the difference between Regency and Victorian tables?

Regency tables, dating from the early nineteenth century, frequently exhibit cleaner classical lines, brass reeded details, and pillar supports. Victorian tables often feature heavier proportions, richer carved pedestal bases, and darker mahogany tones. Revival pieces from later decades often replicated these distinct historical proportions and decorative vocabularies.

How do I care for a mahogany top?

Protect the polished wood surface by using mats under hot dishes and wiping spills promptly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid placing the table in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent the timber from drying out. Regular polishing with traditional beeswax maintains the lustre and nourishes the grain over time.
