Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A French Turn of the Century walnut oval extension dining room table from circa 1900, with five leaves, tapered legs and casters. This exquisite French Turn of the Century walnut dining table, circa 1900, masterfully combines historical charm with modern functionality. Its oval top, crafted from rich walnut, features lateral drop leaves and five removable ones, offering versatile sizing options. This table gracefully transitions from a compact piece to a grand dining surface, ideal for gatherings.

Resting on a solid rectangular apron, the table is supported by eight elegant tapered legs. These are fitted with brass casters, adding a touch of refinement and ease for movement. When the leaves are removed, the table reveals its smaller, charming form with drop leaves, perfect for intimate dining.

The beauty of this piece lies in its blend of old and new. While its core elements hail from the early 1900s, modern enhancements have been thoughtfully incorporated. This includes matching new leaves to the table's original walnut section, ensuring aesthetic continuity. The adjustable positioning of the middle legs, recessed for ample legroom, enhances its functionality without compromising style.

This table, with its adjustable size and timeless design, would be a sophisticated and practical addition to any dining room. It invites both intimate family meals and larger, festive gatherings, serving as a centerpiece that bridges the gap between past and present in home decor. The apron's height is 25".
