Extendable tables were common in the late victorian / early edwardian era and would grace many a smart dining room or parlour. Designed to emphasise a sense of occasion, by requiring the extension of the table using its winding mechanism. These tables were soundly engineered from hardwoods to support the table when extended. This table is fashioned from oak throughout. The mechanism is original, the extension leaf has been replaced as the original was missing when the table was found. The extension leaf has been created to match the original top, from seasoned oak, reduced from a damaged table of the same era. The table extends by 20” when fully wound out, making it comfortable for six or eight diners. When wound in the winding handle and extension leaf can be stored under the table top.
