This is a beautiful dining set comprising an antique William IV flame mahogany and crossbanded extending dining table, dating from Circa 1835, and a set of Vintage crossbanded dining chairs that compliment the table perfectly.

This amazing table can  seat ten in comfort and has been hand-crafted from beautiful flame mahogany.
 
The richly figured solid mahogany top has satin wood banding with a moulded edge. It is rectangular in shape with rounded corners and has three leaves which can be added or removed as required to suit the occasion by a special  winding mechanism. The leaves can be easily removed and stored away when not required.
 
The table is raised on four decorative hand carved turned baluster shaped tapering legs, typical of the William IV period,  that terminate in their original brass  cup castors.

The set of ten flame mahogany dining chairs comprises eight side chairs and two armchairs.

They are made of solid mahogany with fabulous satin wood crossbanded decoration accented with boxwood and ebony line inlay. They stand on elegant reeded tapering front legs with sabre back legs.

They all have drop in seats which are upholstered in a striking burgundy and gold fabric. The seat cushions can be removed to reveal  cane seats which allow for cooler and more comfortable dining in the warmer summer months.

 
This stunning dining set will stand out in your dining or conference room and will definitely become a key piece in your furnishing collection.
 
Condition:

In excellent condition having been beautifully cleaned, polished waxed and the chairs reupholstered in our workshops, please see photos for confirmation.

Flame Mahogany
Thomas Sheraton
 - 18th century furniture designer, once characterized mahogany as "best suited to furniture where strength is demanded as well as a wood that works up easily, has a beautiful figure and polishes so well that it is an ornament to any room in which it may be placed." Matching his words to his work, Sheraton designed much mahogany furniture. The qualities that impressed Sheraton are particularly evident in a distinctive pattern of wood called "flame mahogany."

The flame figure in the wood is revealed by slicing through the face of the branch at the point where it joins another element of the tree.


Winding Mechanism for extending tables
Winding mechanisms have been used since the early 19th Century.
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.
