A large extending dining table Victorian, circa 1850

rosewood, with five additional leaves, including two winders

Good quality and in good condition. Carving good and solid. The leave case is distressed but in fair condition, it is simulated rosewood and the baize lining of the stand is tired and tattered. There are some colour variations - largely due to the fact that the removable leaves have been out of the sun. Some leaves have old marks and scratches. One has some old scoring. The fixed leaves have some marks, which include watermarks. The mechanics and castors are good and easy to operate. A very good looking lot that is really very good condition.
