A Victorian oak circular concentric extending dining table, circa 1890, 75cm high, the top 197cm diameter (unextended) up to 397cm diameter including both of largest sets of leaf additions. together with four sets of leaf additions, each leaf of the first set measuring 25cm deep, (can be added to the table alone), each leaf of the second set measuring 28cm deep (cannot be added to the table alone), each leaf of the third set measuring 48.5cm deep, (can be added to the table alone), each leaf of the fourth set measuring 51cm deep, (cannot be added to the table alone). Possibilities of table top diameter (by employing various combinations of leaf additions as listed below): Adding the first set of leaf additions to the table only = 247cm diameter Adding the third set to the table only = 294cm diameter, Adding the second and third sets to the table only = 351cm overall, Adding the third and fourth sets to the table only = 396cm overall, the leaves held within a two part pine cupboard, 208cm high, 167cm wide, 70cm deep. Provenance: The underside of this table bears a printed paper label titled `SIR E.S.W.`Sir Ernest Salter Wills (1869-1958) 3rd Baronet of Hazelwood and Clapton-in-Gordano, Littlecote House, near Hungerford, Berkshire. For a similar, but slightly smaller table (with two sets of leaves) see Sotheby`s Important English Furniture sale (Horlick Collection), 5th June 2007, Lot 251 sold for £90,000 and another sold at Brightwells, Leominster, Herefordshire, 5th February 2004, Lot 1221, sold for £77,500. (one set of leaves) Although not marked or stamped by a maker (as with the examples mentioned above), the overall quality and design of this table would suggest one of the foremost makers of the period such as Collinson & Lock, Howard & Sons, Maple & Company or Shoolbred & Company. The bold and architectural design of the table being offered also strongly suggests that it could have been made to the design of an architect for a particular building. Alfred Waterhouse, the architect of the Natural History Museum, London, or a contemporary supporting a similar style seems a strong possibility.. Visit www.dnfa.com for condition reports.
