Object Description
A Fine Quality Late Regency Period Mahogany Extending Dining
Table Retaining Exceptional Colour And Patina To Well Figured Top
With Two Original Removable Leaves Raised On Elegant Turned And
Fluted Legs With Superbly Carved Corner Patrae & Original Brass
Castors
(With a whole plethora of options available in terms of antique dining
tables it can be an absolute mine field trying to decide which suits each
individual purpose. This particular example is worth considering for a variety
of reasons, not least the fantastical overall quality and excellent choice of
timber selected. It also retains a good colour and patina. The extending
design is of the full out type which is generally seen in the earlier Georgian
and Regency versions, the wind out design more commonly seen is generally
regarded as a victorian and later feature. Another advantage of this design is
that there is just the 4 corner legs which allow maximum flexibility in terms of
chair and human leg positioning without the extra table legs getting in the
way. It is also nice to know that it has retained its original two leaves, these
have often gone missing throughout the years on other tables.)
