Description

A magnificent English wind-out extending dining table. This large 14ft x 5ft wide dining table stands on six super turned and fluted legs still fitted with their original brass and ceramic castors. It features a double winding mechanism by Joesph Fitter of Birmingham and five leaves which takes it to 14ft but it will extend further to at least 15ft. This was originally a military campaign table which means that if required it can be dismantled and moved or stored relatively easily.

This table does have some minor marks and scratches to the polish work and are offered in original condition.
