Object Description
Antique dining table standing on three pedestals each with four splay base. This sort of base is very sought after, the shape is a Gillow design with the early high knee placement and very vertical waterfall shape to the legs. The close reeding on the top of the legs is typically elegant for the pre-Regency period.
The timber of this table is very nicely figured dense grained mahogany, this is one of the finest cuts of mahogany that we see and it will look wonderful when we have repolished it. The polishing is included in the price and colour matching is part of the restoration process so the top will be an even colour and it is possible to specify a dark, medium or light colour. The table can be made smaller by taking out the removable leaves and can be made longer by the addition of two more leaves made using matching antique timber. Please ask for an estimate to make it longer.
