Mid 19th centuryAn exceptional British colonial rosewood extending dining table. The top, with a deep moulded edge, extends well beyond the base.The table has a telescopic under-frame that extends via a winding mechanism, which allows the table to be extended while the centre leg remains in place.
It has four additional leaves of 53 cm (or 21”) each. The legs, with a bulbous top and reeded tapering shafts, terminate in brass casters. Fully extended, the table measures 372 cm x 136 cm (or 12 ft 2” x 4 ft 5”) and can seat 12 people comfortably.
The table is in good condition and has been lovingly restored and finished to its former glory using a traditional form of French polishing and waxing.
