£850.00

This Attractive Oak extending table, crafted in the late 1890s in Brittany, France, showcases the timeless beauty of the traditional style. It features captivating figural legs that elegantly support the top, complemented by a central decorative stretcher. These remarkable tables were often bestowed upon young couples on their wedding day, with the figures representing the couple and their family members, each depicted in their respective trades or occupations.

The table's ingenious design incorporates a concertina wooden system, allowing it to effortlessly extend. It also boasts two drop-down turned legs, providing sturdy support when fully expanded. The original leaves, made from a secondary wood, are typical of French tables from the 1880s. During that era, it was customary for discerning hostesses to adorn their tables with tablecloths when entertaining guests.
