About the Item

Rectangular mahogany table with eight legs ending in small metal wheels. It has a system of "endless screw" under the board that allows its extension to reach six meters. The legs have a very common shape in the English examples of the 18th century (type known as "claw and ball" with “cabriole”, a shape that although it is more of a French tradition, it was a “fashion” that quickly spread throughout Europe). A lot of experts think that it is a design derived from Chinese art (The Claw of a dragon holding a pearl or similar) and that it reaches the West thanks to the trade of porcelains, silks, etc., appearing for the first time in English silverware and, from it, extending to other arts. It is attributed to the English cabinetmakers the transformation of the dragon's claw into a lion's foot, because this animal symbolizes the English authority. Thus, the "ball and claw" was popular in England between, approximately, 1710 and 1750 (recovering later according to the styles of the past become fashionable again), and with a lot of variations (shape of The Claw, details of the nails and "fingers", proportion between the sphere and the extremity, etc.) depending on the area and date in which this element was used. The decoration along the waist, upper part of the legs and on the edge of the upper board in the table, in slight relief and leaving the wood in its colour, is of architectural and vegetal theme and shows an influence of Classic ancient models (Greek and Roman) in both its motifs as in the composition (symmetry on the sides of the furniture, harmony, etc.). As for the presence of the fabric of the upper board, it is a more common element in the tables for conferences, desks or games than in the dining tables (which usually present the wooden board), although this detail does not exclude any function for it. Also, it is necessary to emphasize the conservation of the “roldanas” (wheels) of the legs, element that used to be eliminated or to be lost with the use. Size: 428x160x86 cm. Extended 700x160x86 cm Height up to ball 75 cms Weight is orienttative, even in packaging.

Mahogany and Metal Extensible Dining Table. England, 19th Century

Located in Madrid, ES

Rectangular table extendable by panels and mechanical system manually operated by crank, made of carved mahogany wood and metal elements (leg ends, mechanism, sheaves). The top board has been left smooth, with a slight recess towards the edges that curves the area and extends through the corners of the piece of furniture, contributing to the comfort of its use as a dining or conference table; The legs present an outstanding work of carving and turning, with a stipe shape and a memory of architectural columns for its combination of moldings, highlighting the polygonal base and the fact that it retains the wheels or small metal sheaves that help to move the piece of furniture. Both the wood chosen for the table (mahogany), and the lack of decorative elements (which enhances the quality of the material and the lines) are common features in the old English furniture...
