Victorian oak extending dining table

This Victorian oak extending dining table was made circa 1880 in a top workshop to be then retailed in a high-end establishment. NOW SOLD

This table has 2 extra leaves that can be set in to use together or separately, something that helps makes this a very versatile dining table for you to set out for different meal settings.

We estimate that this Victorian oak extending dining table seats 10.

The table is rectangular with attractive bow shaped ends and extends using a winding mechanism (Joseph Fitter Patent winding mechanism). The table has solid mahogany runners that slide the dining table open as you gently use the winding handle. The table then opens so that you can place one or both leaves into place according to your needs.

The table is made in fine oak, with turned and fluted legs ending on the original china wheel castors.

Imagine the conversations that were held in the days this was first made as people dined at this. Would the hot topic be that the Conservative Party had lost the election to the Liberals, or the Great London Fog that was engulfing the capital city. Greenwich mean time adopted for Great Britain in the Statutes Act, the interest that the first ever shipment of frozen lamb had arrived in to the UK from Australia. They may have excitedly spoken about visiting the Strand in London to watch Gilbert and Sullivan’s opera ‘The Pirates of Penzance’ that had just opened there.
