This is an antique Victorian oval dining table made from top quality solid mahogany and dating from around 1860. This antique dining table is offered for sale in truly excellent condition.

This antique Victorian dining table is both beautiful to look at and versatile in day to day use. This is because it is an extending dining table which can be increased in length to suit the requirements of the occasion.

The dining table is oval in shape and is supplied with its two original extension leaves. When the leaves are fitted the table can comfortably seat eight people. Fitting the extension leaves is made easy by the presence of a special winding mechanism.

This lovely antique dining table is hand-crafted from top quality solid mahogany which has a beautiful grain and colour. The table stands on beautiful yet sturdy turned and fluted legs that terminate in brass and porcelain castors making it easy to move around when required.

The chairs shown in the photographs are available if required. The price quoted here does not include chairs but we have matched this table with a set of chairs here.

Condition

This antique Victorian dining table is in excellent condition having been beautifully restored in our workshops, please see photos for confirmation.

Mahogany 
is probably one of the largest ‘families’ of hardwood, having many different varieties within its own species.

Mahogany has been used for centuries in ship building, house building, furniture making etc and is the core structure of just about every 19th century vanity box, dressing case or jewellery box. It became more of a Victorian trend to dress Mahogany with these decorative veneers, such as Rosewood, Kingwood, Burr Walnut and Coromandel, so that the actual Mahogany was almost hidden from view.

Mahogany itself is a rich reddish brown wood that can range from being plain in appearance to something that is so vibrant, figured and almost three dimensional in effect. 

Although Mahogany was most often used in its solid form, it also provided some beautifully figured varieties of veneer like ‘Flame’ Mahogany and ‘Fiddleback’ Mahogany (named after its preferred use in the manufacture of fine musical instruments).

Cuban Mahogany was so sought after, that by the late 1850′s, this particular variety became all but extinct.
 

Winding Mechanism for extending tables
A man by the name of Samuel Hawkins applied for a patent on a screw expander on June 6th, 1861. Presumably, Mr. Hawkins either died or retired because his business was taken over by a young machinist named Joseph Fitter  in 1864.
Joseph Fitter operated a machinist shop where he produced winding mechanisms for extending tables as well as screw expanders for piano stools and other applications at 210 Cheapside, Birmingham England by the name of Britannia Works.
