News » Antique Wind Out Tables
« BackFriday, March 22, 2019
Whether for the dining room or an open plan kitchen the wind out extendable tables make the best addition to spaces where added flexibility to seat from 6 to up to 24 people around the same table are required and perhaps the need to compact a table for everyday use but extend for dinner parties, Birthdays, Christmas, etc.. A professionally restored antique table also has a historic charm as opposed a modern factory produced example as the cost of properly seasoned English oak means that most tables made today are veneered chipboard or from block construction.
Until 1880 most wind out tables were constructed from mahoganies imported from the Colonies and as these were lost from the Empire the British reverted to its English oak for construction, The tops of highly figured quarter sawn medullary ray boards, runner sytems of very heavy guage and typically a turned leg with some carving, fluting or reeding. At this time all were bespoke commisions, so although of simllar formats, each is unique in some detail.
