c.1920 French Walnut Draw Leaf Dining Table Conversion
About the Item
Our first step was to completely disassemble the original table. We saved the five parquet panels from the top and leaves of the petite table and built one additional panel. Great care was taken so that the newly made panel did not look out of place. Our craftsman analysed the grain and figure of the original walnut and selected boards to match the eighty year old parquet.
The original carved legs were saved, but the apron of the table needed to be extended significantly. The center and ends of the apron are original, for the remaining pieces the style and scalloping of the table sides were copied. Just like the original, the side pieces were painstakingly carved by hand. This was extremely time consuming, but the end result was a perfect match. Four of the carved shells on the apron are original and eight more were cast and added to the sides pieces.
All of the new wood was hand distressed to mirror the aged look of the rest of the piece. We stripped the entire table and sanded every surface to prepare it for a new finish. Using a mix of numerous stains and glazes the finish was brought back to its original hue. The piece was sealed with a pre-catalysed lacquer, rubbed by hand with fine steel wool and beeswax was hand applied to the entire table. The wax adds warmth and depth to the finish and is an authentic and, most importantly, great-looking surface for a vintage table.
When finished it is impossible for any observer to tell the new from the old. The end result is a massive dining table that looks like it was made in the 1920's. The designer and client are thrilled.
