In comparison to standard modern dining tables or typical antique examples, this piece stands out for its generous scale and craftsmanship. Many contemporary tables lack the robust presence and visual drama brought by genuine flame mahogany. Earlier models and more common examples from this era rarely offer such a substantial fully-extended surface, making this an exceptional choice for grand entertaining or period interiors.
Key Technical Advantages:
Where many antique dining tables provide modest extension, this table confidently seats a large gathering with its four additional leaves. Each leaf retains its original numbering for authenticity and seamless integration. Fluted legs and central support ensure remarkable stability regardless of the table's length.
Technology and Performance
The precision of joinery between the mahogany ends and the oak leaves is a testament to 19th-century French craftsmanship. The solid flame mahogany enhances not only aesthetics but long-lasting durability, a feature hard to come by in today's reproductions. The Charles X design, with its refined lines and elegant support, promises both strength and grace, establishing this antique dining table as a family heirloom of distinction.
Located in London and bearing gentle patina, this flame mahogany dining table is ideal for collectors and connoisseurs seeking both beauty and function in a true antique.
