Antique Victorian Mahogany Extending Dining Table with Cabriole Legs – Seats 10

A superb quality antique Victorian mahogany extending dining table, dating to circa 1860, featuring an elegant rectangular top with beautifully figured mahogany and a rich, warm colour throughout.

The table stands on four particularly attractive and unusually designed cabriole legs, each beautifully shaped with carved scroll detailing, terminating in original-style brass castors. The distinctive legs give the table a wonderfully elegant appearance, setting it apart from more conventional Victorian extending dining tables.

The substantial mahogany top has gently rounded corners and a beautifully polished surface, displaying the attractive natural grain and character of the timber. The table retains its two original additional leaves, allowing it to extend from a practical everyday dining table to a generous ten-seater, making it ideal for both family dining and entertaining.

A particularly handsome and versatile Victorian dining table, combining excellent craftsmanship, elegant proportions and an unusual leg design.

Condition: Very good antique condition, with minor age-related wear consistent with its age and use.
