About the Item

This is a fabulous antique early Victorian oval flame mahogany extending dining table, circa 1850 in date, with a vintage set of ten balloon back dining chairs. The table has two original leaves, can comfortably seat ten, and it has been hand-crafted from flame mahogany which has a beautiful grain and colour. The two leaves can be added or removed as required to suit the occasion by a special winding mechanism. The table is raised on turned and fluted tapering legs that terminate in brass cap castors which makes it easy to move when required. The beautiful set of ten vintage Victorian Revival mahogany balloon back dining chairs, date from the second half of the 20th century and consist of eight side chairs and two armchairs all skillfully carved from solid mahogany and beautifully upholstered in a superb golden damask fabric. This stunning set will stand out in your dining or conference room and will definitely become a key piece in your furnishing collection.

Matching his words to his work, Sheraton designed much mahogany furniture. The qualities that impressed Sheraton are particularly evident in a distinctive pattern of wood called "flame mahogany." The flame figure in the wood is revealed by slicing through the face of the branch at the point where it joins another element of the tree. Winding Mechanism for extending tables A man by the name of Samuel Hawkins applied for a patent on a screw expander on June 6th, 1861. Presumably, Mr. Hawkins either died or retired because his business was taken over by a young machinist named Joseph Fitter in 1864. Joseph Fitter operated a machinist shop where he produced winding mechanisms for extending tables as well as screw expanders for piano stools and other applications at 210 Cheapside, Birmingham England by the name of Britannia Works.
