A Very Rare ‘Jupe’s’ Extensible Mechanical Action Circular Dining Table By Maple & Co
Constructed in mahogany, rising from four ‘lions paw’ feet, which support four reeded and stop fluted columns, having a conjoining stretcher of ‘X’ form; closed, the table is 66 inches diameter, but, when the ingenious capstan action is operated, the frame opens to receive one of two sets of different sized eight segment-form leaves, enabling the diameter to be increased to a maximum diameter of 96 inches.
