A Fine Quality and Large Four Pillar Brown Oak Extending Dining Table, c.1900

A Fine Quality and Large Four Pillar Brown Oak Extending Dining Table, c.1900, This fine extending dining table has four pillars and, with the replacement extending leaves added, can comfortably seat a family plus guests for dinner. Seating 10 people at this table is very easy. The table utilises four pillars with relatively low extending supports, meaning that some of the space issues caused by sweeping, outspreading legs on George III and early George IV-type tables and their high knees are avoided with this clever and highly practical design. The table is also particularly sturdy and stable. The top is veneered with well figured brown oak of attractive colour and the whole design has elements of the British arts and crafts movement in it, suggesting a date of c.1900. The style of the table is particularly associated with some of the fine workshops operating in the Cotswolds area at this time.

Estimate:£44,500
