Crafted in solid oak, the table is anchored by two boldly shaped pedestal supports joined by a full-length stretcher, giving the piece both visual weight and excellent structural stability.

The rectangular top is constructed from wide oak planks, showcasing a richly grained surface with a warm, time-softened patina. The finish reveals natural variations in tone, gentle wear, and surface character consistent with age and long use, lending the table an honest, lived-in presence rather than a restored or overly polished look. When viewed up close, the oak displays attractive figuring and subtle tonal shifts that speak to the quality of the timber and its age.

Designed for flexibility, the table includes two removable extension leaves, each measuring 18 inches wide. Without the leaves, the table measures 96 inches wide, suitable for everyday dining or use as a generous library or conference table. Fully extended, it reaches an impressive 132 inches (11 feet), comfortably accommodating large gatherings, making it ideal for entertaining or for use in a grand dining room or hospitality setting.

Overall dimensions fully extended: 132"W x 42"D x 29"H.
Width without leaves: 96"W.

A versatile and handsome English oak table, well suited to traditional interiors, English country house settings, or as a grounding antique element in a more contemporary space. See less
