This table starts out as a rectangle but with three impressive leaves it can extend to 122" (each leaf is 18" x 44"). The table has a slight chinoiserie feel (especially at the bottom of the table legs).

It was part of the Far East Collection he did for Baker. It has small brass wheels at the bottom of the table legs that make it easier to extend the table. This table offers tremendous flexibility. It can seat 8 when closed or 12 when the leaves are added.

The table top is sun faded. This piece would benefit from refinishing/restoration. The leaves show some signs of previous water damage (see close up images) and some separation at the seams. You'll see the same table listed for $6500-$9000 when restored. See less
