Description

A fine quality Georgian mahogany triple pillar dining table of generous proportions designed to seat twelve to fourteen people comfortably when fully extended. A classic and highly desirable form offering both scale and flexibility.
The table stands on three elegant turned pedestal columns each raised on swept reeded legs terminating in original brass capped castors. The proportions are excellent with a well balanced stance giving both strength and visual elegance.
The top is formed from solid mahogany with a rich warm colour and attractive figuring throughout. It extends by means of two additional leaves allowing the table to be used in multiple configurations depending on space and requirement. When closed the table divides into two separate sections which can be used as a pair of console tables, a highly practical feature for modern living.
Triple pillar tables such as this were designed for large formal dining rooms allowing hosts to accommodate significant gatherings while maintaining a refined appearance. Today they remain one of the most practical and sought after dining table forms.
