Craftsmanship & Detail

The table is constructed from richly coloured mahogany, displaying attractive natural grain, a warm mellow tone and the depth of patina associated with well-preserved Victorian furniture.

The rounded rectangular top features gently softened corners and a finely moulded edge, creating an elegant outline while retaining the practical proportions required for regular family use.

The table stands on four substantial turned baluster legs with carved fluting, terminating in brass and ceramic castors. Their bold but restrained form gives the table a confident Victorian character without appearing excessively heavy.

A traditional pull-out extending mechanism allows the table to be enlarged with the supplied extension leaf. When closed, the table measures 134cm in length, making it manageable for everyday dining. With the leaf fitted, it extends to 187cm, providing useful additional space for entertaining family and guests.

The table offers generous width at 120cm, creating ample space for place settings, serving dishes and centrepieces while maintaining a comfortable and well-proportioned dining surface.

Equally suited to a period dining room, country house, townhouse or modern interior, this table combines authentic antique character with genuine everyday practicality.

I found Hawkin’s website when looking for an antique cabinet online. I found the perfect piece, ordered it and it had arrived a week later! Free shipping, great communication and 2 guys who carried it in the house and assembled it. Great service, I will be using again in the future. Thank you!

Purchased a beautiful 19th century French kingwood display cabinet from Hawkins Antiques. I am delighted with my purchase and would love to purchase from here again in the future! Lee provided excellent communication with very quick and thorough responses. Delivery was arranged extremely quickly and the delivery duo did a brilliant job up a narrow staircase, getting the cabinet into position safely and without issue. Highly recommend Lee and all at Hawkins Antiques!

Our house was built in 1820, so I have been slowly acquiring furniture from the same period. The piece is perfect & arrived very quickly too.

We purchased a table from Hawkins Antique and it is absolutely stunning and a mint condition! Delivery was very fast and the delivery team were fantastic and really went the extra mile to get the table into the house - it wasn't simple due to our narrow front door, but the guys managed to get it in, keeping the table safe along the way! Highly recommend - very happy! Made another purchase already!
