The table features a traditional draw-leaf design, allowing it to be extended quickly and conveniently when additional dining space is required. When closed, the table measures a practical 137 cm in length, while fully extended it reaches an impressive 207.5 cm, providing considerably greater seating and dining capacity. The table is raised on an attractive refectory-style base, giving the piece a strong architectural presence and excellent stability. Beautiful carved detailing throughout adds further decorative interest and highlights the quality of its traditional craftsmanship. Particularly appealing is the oak itself, displaying attractive natural grain, rich warm colouring and established character throughout. The substantial construction and warm appearance of the timber give the table a timeless quality equally suited to traditional, country and more contemporary interiors. Its adaptable proportions make this an especially useful dining table, remaining relatively compact for everyday use while extending to over two metres for larger gatherings and entertaining. Presented in good antique condition, with appropriate signs of age and historic use consistent with its early 20th-century origin. A highly desirable example of traditional English dining furniture, combining richly grained oak, decorative carving, a substantial refectory-style base and an exceptionally practical draw-leaf extending design.
