Important Antique Georgian Chinoiserie circa 1800 Chinese Refectory Dining Table

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this super rare and very important original circa 1800 Chinese Chinoiserie refectory dining table. This table was owned by the wife of the Admiral who ran the naval base in Davenport in the south of England, it was sold at an estate sale maybe 5-6 years ago, since then it has resided in my care whilst I decide what to do with it It is a truly sublime and very important piece, I have never seen another of its type and in searching the internet can't find any other examples. The table is circa 1800 and in what looks to be oak or elm, it's hard to see as it's almost entirely covered. The table has then been plastered and upholstered with what looks like rice paper Chinoiserie artwork, it may be a different type of paper but it's thin hence the plaster base layer Condition wise there is age and use related patina marks all over, as you can see in the pictures, the paper has degraded in places and its showing its age well, one side stretcher is missing and has been replaced, this can be professionally restored and colour match patined at the new owners cost and request, I have left it as it is as I like old repairs Dimensions Height:- 76.5cm Width:- 249cm Depth:- 121cm Inside measurements Side width inside the legs 105cm, front width inside the legs 100cm Inside height from under the rail to the floor 71.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition. Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend annual waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.

  • Fine Georgian Extending Dining Table D Ends with Two Leaves, English, circa 1785
    Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
    This is a high quality English extending dining table made from hardwood, in the period of George III, during the late 18th century, circa 1785. This table will seat 10 people on account of its large width of over 54 inches plus the semi circular ends. It has two D-ends ( semi circular) each having four legs, the two outer ones being fixed and fluted and the two inside ones being gated, swinging out to support the leaves when required. There are two additional leaves. The tops and legs are solid hardwood, with all the legs being square tapered, ending in carved spade feet, with what look to be the original brass castors. The edges to the table top are horizontally reeded and the curved side under-frames are veneered. This is a very versatile dining table. The D-ends can be used separately as pier tables or joined together to form a circular table. The table can be easily extended, using either one or both leaves as required. When fully extended with the two leaves inserted the piece forms a large elegant dining table, capable of seating ten people, the sections clipping together with six brass clips. The color and patina of this table is superb, having a rich patina, only possible with over 200 years of repeated polishing. For similar 18th C. Extending dining tables see the book; British Antique Furniture by John Andrews, published by the Antique Collectors' Club. Overall this is a fine English 18thC Georgian dining table.
