Description:
This is a fine quality antique English late Victorian solid mahogany extendable ‘D end’ dining table, circa 1890, which seats up to eight persons, and extends up to 8ft long and is in excellent condition. Bearing a metal label reading “Ashton Leach & Cumberbirch Ltd., Rochdale” on the telescopic wooden frame, which we understand were prominent Victorian furniture retailers in Rochdale. The table is 3ft 6” wide, meaning that it can also be used in narrow rooms. Constructed from top quality mahogany, the table features a solid mahogany moulded top with a lovely colour, above a straight frieze. The table is raised on elegant but sturdy cabriole legs, which terminate on claw & ball feet and the original brass cup castors. The table consists of a pair of ‘D ends’, which is united by the original steel telescopic winding mechanism and winding handle. The steel winding mechanism retains the ordinal manufacturers’ label of “Joseph Fitter – Patented – Britannia Works – Birmingham”. The table is opened by a single person using the winding handle. The mechanism allows the ends to either be brought completely together or extended to accept the two additional solid mahogany “leaves” for extending the table. The leaves connect to the “D ends” and to each other via wooden dowels situated either side of the leaves. They are secured in place by winding the table inwards to clamp the leaves. The table can be configured in a multitude of different ways: the two “D ends” can be brought together to form a circular centre table, which will seat four people. The leaves are each a different size, therefore, they allow for many different combinations to achieve different lengths, to best suit the intended number of users. At maximum length, the table can seat up to eight persons. This ability to be configured in so many different ways allow the table to be utilised in the best way possible according to room size and intended use. The chairs in the picture are not included in the price.
The table boasts a stunning rich brown mahogany colour. It has fantastic original colour and patination this is due to the years of care and cleaning it has received.
This mahogany extendable dining table would look superb in a variety of rooms, including the dining room or boardroom. This truly is a very beautiful dining table with quality construction and is original throughout.
