The Antique Furniture Company

Description

An attractive Victorian extending dining table in light golden quarter-sawn oak with two original leaves and dating to c.1870. The rounded rectangular top with a moulded edge and decorative tablet above each carved and fluted turned leg, standing on brass caps with Cope & Collinson brown pottery castors. The ‘screw expander’ winding mechanism smoothly extends the table from just under 6ft to nearly 9ft allowing it to seat 10 people (or 12 at a squeeze) if using both leaves.

Sympathetically cleaned and repolished using traditional methods to give a light honey oak colour to the top, medullary rays from the quarter-sawn cut of the oak produce the attractive ‘tiger grain’ pattern to the top. Some minor small /losses splits to veneer on frieze on corners. The castors stamped ‘C&C patent’, leaves stamped to the edges, winder handle included.

Please appreciate all our items are antique and as such may have minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits signs of old woodworm, and minor losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos.
