Description:
This is a superb quality antique English Georgian solid mahogany extendable “d end” dining table, circa 1800, displaying stunning figured mahogany top, which seats 8 persons and is in excellent condition. The table comfortably seats 8 persons (see photos). Constructed from top quality figured mahogany, the table features a solid mahogany top with a stunning colour, above a straight frieze. The table is raised on lovely inlaid tapering chamfered legs, which terminate on the original brass cup castors. The table consists of a pair of “d” end tables with two addition ‘drop-in’ leaves for extending the table. The table can be configured in a multitude of different ways: the two “d ends” can be used separately as console tables, or they can be locked together to form a circular centre table, which will seat four people. The rear legs of the “d ends” can be folded out to support a single drop-down leaf in the centre, which will seat 4-6 people. Finally, both drop-down leaves can be added between the “D” ends, in order to create the full-size dining table, which will seat up to 8 people. This ability to be configured in so many different ways allows the table to be utilised in the best way possible according to room size and intended use. The table features six solid brass clips, which are used to connect the various sections together. The chairs in the picture are not included in the price.
The table boasts a stunning rich mahogany colour. It has fantastic original colour and patination this is due to the years of care and cleaning it has received.
