its extendable oval top reveals a striking interplay of materials: a peripheral band of light flame mahogany frames a center of dark satinwood mahogany, all encircled by a fine black molding. Two pedestals with a central baluster-shaped turned column support the table with perfect balance, each terminating in four finely fluted saber legs, ending in superb cast brass casters adorned with acanthus leaves—a refined detail typical of the english regency period (circa 1810–1840).

a 46 cm central extension leaf allows for a generous expansion of the dining surface to comfortably accommodate your guests. The warm patina of the wood, the slight scratches, and the surface variations attest to a long and authentic life, befitting the age of the piece.

dimensions: h. 73 cm × w. 166 cm × d. 91 cm (+ 46 cm with extension). See less
