Description
Large old antique Edwardian oak wood extending kitchen or dining table made around 1910, with ring turned legs having brass and ceramic castors below and grooved carvings above. The top has diagonal cut corners and a shaped edge. The colour is a pleasant mid oak: it looks to have been stripped of its darker varnish at some point. When shut, the table is almost square and would seat four easily, possibly six friendly types. There is a winding mechanism underneath, with telescopic wooden runners, allowing the frame to be extended with a winding handle (included). Separate leaves can then be dropped in to make it into an eight seater (with one leaf) or ten seater (with both leaves). You could probably get more round there for special occasions. This table can be dismantled to get it in situ, if absolutely necessary, but it is rather a pain to set up again unless you know what you're doing. I can provide instructions!
measurements
Dimensions: 130/174/217cm x 107cm x 73cm high (legroom height 61cm).
declaration
Barnaby's of Battle has clarified that the Large Antique Oak Extending Dining Table 1910s (LA471106) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c.1910
condition
Condition is pretty good for the age: structurally it's solid enough and the mechanism works fairly smoothly. We had to fiddle with it for a while to tighten up some wear in it, but I'm happy with it, I'd still advise care when operating it, to make sure it's not catching anywhere, and I probably wouldn't advise too much dancing on it when fully extended. Cosmetically there are various minor blemishes: some old rings and scratches on the top, not too terrible, a chip to one leaf join and some filled areas on one leg; general scuffs and dings. The two spare leaves are obviously less worn than the rest of the piece: they tend to get used less and stored when not needed, and I don't think they got stripped with the rest of it. They look well enough though. There's no shaped moulding on the leaves so they appear thinner from the side; they did have it originally but that's gone.
