Description

A handsome and generously proportioned George III Pembroke drop-flap dining table, of rectangular form, supported on six elegant tapering reeded legs (four gating to support the leaves once opened), in quite exceptional quality and wild grained Cuban mahogany. To seat 8 people once opened.

Length 52 ½” (133cm) Width (closed) 26″ (66cm) Width (open) 70” (178cm) Height 29″ (74cm)

Condition and Details of Restoration:
This item is in sound original structural condition, but would most likely have originally have been designed to link with a D-end table to each end to form an even larger table. There are brass keyhole catches and marks from other catches (to the underside of the table only) to support this assumption. The corners of the table have been rounded off, many years ago. The polish has been revived, by our own craftsmen, by hand in the traditional manner it retains its original colour and patina. There are some minor marks, scuffs, and fading in our opinion the photos are representative.
