The table is one of the finest versions of an American Federal style dining table to have been made by the Henkel Harris furniture company. Anyone familiar with Henkel Harris should be well aware of what a tremendous value our present offering is for a discerning buyer. Originally this table was priced through one of the Henkel Harris affiliate showrooms for at least ten thousand dollars more than our current listed price. During the second half of the 20th century the premium furniture market in America was led by Henkel Harris, Baker Furniture, Councill Craftsman, and Henredon. These companies reached a pinnacle of craftsmanship before quality declined over time as the costs of high end furniture production led to decreasing standards. The dining table we now offer is among the best versions ever made by any of the major producers and will remain one of the wisest investments anyone searching for a quality dining room table can hope to find.

The entire table is constructed from a beautiful selection of mahogany and features an elliptical band inlay of satinwood that contrasts the traditional mahogany finish. Overall the table measures ten feet long with two 24" wide table leaves provided to expand the standard six foot table to the optimal length. The table will measure eight feet long if only one of the two matched leaves are used. Twin pedestal supports are able to be detached from the underside of the table should moving the piece ever become a consideration. These pedestals are designed with three down-swept legs that end with brass lion paw feet coverings in a manner similar to the traditional Duncan Phyfe style. The table features a finely reeded edge along with expertly turned pedestal elements and a lovely molding detail throughout the legs. The condition of the entire table is wonderful as it has been protected from harm in large part thanks to the original padded table coverings that can quickly be folded up and stored away. This is a vintage table from 2002 so there is some very light wear marks and scuffing to the lacquer. We take our photos outside in direct sunlight and had to seek out specific angles to have it visible in our photos. Inside under normal household lighting it’s truly a non factor. The table presents well and we’d easily rate it a 9 out of 10 for condition. The table measures 72” long x 45 3/4” wide x 29 1/4” tall without the leaves. Each leaf is 24” wide making the full length of the table 10 feet when both are installed. See less
