The table features a traditional draw-leaf extension system, allowing the dining surface to be quickly and conveniently increased whenever additional space is required.

When closed, the table measures a compact 91 cm square, extending to an impressive 151.5 cm in length when fully opened. This versatile configuration makes the table particularly practical for everyday dining while providing considerably more surface area when entertaining family or guests. The table stands on elegant turned legs, united by a substantial supporting stretcher that provides additional stability while contributing to the traditional character and well-balanced proportions of the design. Throughout, the oak displays gorgeous natural grain, rich warm colouring and established character, giving the table considerable visual warmth and highlighting the quality of the timber. Its combination of compact closed dimensions and generous extended proportions makes this an especially versatile dining table, well suited to interiors where space efficiency is important without sacrificing the ability to accommodate additional guests. The generous knee height of 69 cm also provides comfortable clearance beneath the table, further enhancing its practicality for regular dining use.

Presented in good antique condition, with appropriate signs of age and historic use consistent with its early 20th-century origin. A highly desirable Edwardian dining table combining richly grained oak, a practical draw-leaf extension mechanism, elegant turned legs and a sturdy stretcher base within a timeless and highly functional design.
