About the Item

This is a gorgeous Regency revival Jupe style flame mahogany dining table by the master cabinet maker William Tillman, circa 1970 in date. The table has a solid mahogany top that has five additional perimeter leaves that can be added around the circumference. It is very stable as it has four down swept splay legs united by a conforming under tier terminating with brass paw feet and castors. When required you can add the leaves around the perimeter by pulling slides out from the sides of the table and sliding the leaves on them. With the leaves attached around the circumference it can seat up to ten people in comfort, with the leaves removed the diameter is 167cms (5ft 6 Inches approximate) and can then seat six to eight people. This fascinating table illustrates all the very best elements of English cabinet-making combined with the remarkable burst of inventiveness of the Industrial revolution. It was not until John Johnstone and Robert Jupe patented their ingenious design in March 1835 for an expanding round table, that round dining tables, which had suffered from the problem of not offering flexibility of seating, could compete with the established rectangular extending dining tables. There is no mistaking the fine craftsmanship of this handsome table, which is certain to become a treasured addition to your furniture collection, and a talking point with guests at meal times. Condition: In excellent condition the table having been beautifully cleaned and polished in our workshops, please see photos for confirmation.

It has been sold in all of the famous London Stores including Harrods, Peter Jones and Maples and will almost certainly be considered important antique furniture of the future. Every piece of furniture was produced with the utmost skill and knowledge to ensure that the finished article would bear the most critical comparison with the original. Whilst the polish used was resistant to heat and water, the finished surface has a wax patination similar to that found on early furniture. Tillman pieces won the British furniture manufacturers, showpiece of the year award in three consecutive years. Flame Mahogany Thomas Sheraton, 18th century furniture designer, once characterized mahogany as "best suited to furniture where strength is demanded as well as a wood that works up easily, has a beautiful figure and polishes so well that it is an ornament to any room in which it may be placed." 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.
