How many people can sit at a triple pedestal table?

These large dining tables typically seat anywhere from ten to over twenty people depending on the length of the leaves inserted. Because they lack corner legs, hosts can place chairs much more freely around the entire perimeter.

How do the extension leaves work?

The tables pull apart along internal wooden runners to accept one or more separate leaves. Brass clips or wooden pins often secure the sections together to keep the surface stable and flat.

Are these tables suitable for everyday dining?

Their grand scale makes them ideal for hosting dinner parties and accommodating large family gatherings. Using protective pads helps preserve the polished mahogany surface during daily use.

How do I distinguish Regency style from original Regency pieces?
