The rounded D-ends and reeded edge create an attractive and sophisticated silhouette.

The table stands on three turned gun-barrel pedestals each with four reeded downswept legs terminating in brass lions-paw caps and castors. The extension mechanism runs smoothly and accommodates two leaves, allowing the table to extend to an impressive length suitable for seating up to twelve diners comfortably.

A particularly versatile feature of this model is that the two end sections may be used independently as matching console tables, offering additional decorative or functional use when the table is not fully assembled.

Solid, sturdy and well balanced, with light age-related marks to the top consistent with use.
