About the Item

There is no mistaking the style and sophisticated design of this exquisite dining set comprising a rare English antique Victorian pollard oak extending dining table, circa 1840 in date and a set of 12 antique dining chairs, circa 1870 in date. The styles that developed throughout the early 19th century were an extension of the current political situations but also in accordance with the needs of the rising middle class during the industrial revolution. This impressive dining table is exemplary of the early Victorian era with its Pollard oak and delicate ebony line inlay. This amazing table has four leaves and can comfortably seat 12. This striking table has been handcrafted from solid oak which is not only strong, but has a beautiful grain. The top has been veneered in Pollard, oak with twin ebonised line inlaid decoration, which is seen in the intricate burr on the tabletop. The four leaves can be added or removed as required to suit the occasion by a special winding mechanism, the leaves can be easily stored away when not required. The table is raised on four elegant turned and reeded legs that terminate in brass caps and castors. The superb and rare set of twelve antique Victorian mahogany dining chairs, are circa 1870 in date. With upholstered padded backs and stuff over seats they are raised on elegant turned forelegs that terminate in brass and porcelain castors with sabre rear legs. They have been reupholstered in a sumptuous Cardinal Red damask with expertly double piped borders. It is rare to find such a large, fabulous and comfortable set of chairs and they will enhance this dining table beautifully. Whatever the function of this gorgeous dining set, it will make a profound impression on your dinner guests or clients and will receive the maximum amount of attention wherever it is placed.

Pollard oak Pollarding is a pruning system in which the upper branches of a tree are removed, promoting a dense head of foliage and branches. It has been common in Europe since medieval times and is practised today in urban areas worldwide, primarily to maintain trees at a predetermined height. The bole of the tree, constantly cut back over a period of years, will eventually form a lump, or ‘burr’, which when sawn for veneer, gives a lovely grained, swirling figure. The effect is similar to that of burr walnut with its distinctive speckled grain. Burrs, or ‘burls’, are growths which appear on the side of tree trunks, resulting from a tree undergoing some form of stress. They may be caused by an injury, virus or fungus. During the 19th century great strides were made in the mechanisation of cabinet making. Marc Isambard Brunel [ Isambard Kingdom’s father] built the first steam driven saw mill, and invented a circular saw that could be used to cut veneers thinly and evenly for the first time. He also developed the first hydraulic veneer press. The figured wood cut from burrs and pollards is notoriously difficult to cut and lay: the wild grain which makes it so attractive results in a very delicate, brittle veneer. The new machines enabled the Victorian craftsmen to make the most of these beautiful timbers.
