This piece showcases carved ball-and-claw feet with acanthus carving, a rope-twisted edge and an extendable top with original leaf which folds up and out. The table is constructed with solid mahogany legs and apron mahogany veneer over a hardwood core top, and traditional mortise-an-tenon joinery, reinforced by curved corner blocks. Machine-cut dovetail construction and all-slotted screws confirm the mid-1950's period. Original stamped steel leaf hardware and alignment plates remain intact. The surface retains its hand-applied lacquer finish, beautifully ambered with age, showing light wear consistent with over 60 years of careful use.. This table embodies both elegance and durability, making it a timeless centerpiece for formal dining. See less
