Inspired by Robert Jupe’s ingenious 1835 mechanical design, this round table expands outwards from its center rather than breaking apart in a traditional straight line. A smooth, simple rotation of the top separates the interlocking pie-shaped sections to reveal the underlying brass and steel matrix framework, welcoming custom extension leaves that transform the piece from an intimate gathering spot into a grand banquet table.The artistry of the woodwork matches the sophistication of its mechanical execution. Eight flawless wedges of highly figured crotch mahogany radiate outward from a central medallion, creating a dramatic, naturally shifting grain pattern. The table's perimeter is finished with a striking rosewood cross-banded border that crisply anchors the expansive circular design. Balanced atop a substantial Regency-style pedestal with classic swept legs and cast bronze feet, this heirloom piece effortlessly bridges the gap between mechanical innovation and timeless luxury.

The table expands up to 81.5 inches and closed measures 61.5 inches. See less
