Regency mahogany extending dining table
This Regency mahogany extending dining table was made in the 1820s.
It is in the high-Regency style with the finely turned mahogany legs with reeds.
This style of leg was extensively used by Gillows and the other top manufacturers in the period.
The dining table has the extra centre leg, this was to give extra support on these larger tables, especially as the mahogany was of good quality and weight.
The table slides out on oak runners, this allows you to place in any combination of the 3 leaf extensions. Therefore, you can extend the dining table to seat the required number. It is a comfortable 12 seat table.
The top has the rounded corners which makes the table have a softer look.
Imagine the fun and enjoyment ownership this wonderful dining table will give you as you entertain your family and friends.
The conversations you may have as you imagine what the original owners would be debating over dinner when this was first commissioned? Would they have been still marvelling about the victory at the Battle of Waterloo, or speculating about how King George III mental health had deteriorated, how the Russian expedition had discovered the Antarctic continent, or even the re-election of James Monroe as the President of the USA. It is incredible how much history this dining table has seen in its lifetime and how much more it has in front of it.
