Quality & Value – Victorian Antique Dining Tables
The Victorians knew a thing or two about quality and robustness when it comes to furniture and this is particularly true of dining furniture such as dining tables and chairs. Here at Regent Antiques we specialise in sourcing, restoring and offering for sale the UK’s finest range of antique dining tables and chairs and this week we are focusing on those from the Victorian era which offer such great value and quality.
First we’d like to show you a very fine Victorian solid mahogany extending dining table, circa 1880 in date, which has just come into stock:

This fine table has two original leaves enabling it to comfortably seat eight people if required. It is hand-crafted from top quality solid mahogany. The two extension leaves can be added or removed as required to suit the occasion by a special winding mechanism. The table legs are fitted with the original brass and brown porcelain castors, making it easy to move around as and when required. If the extension leaves are removed, the table is circular.

This large and impressive table has three original leaves and is capable of comfortably seating up to twelve people when required. The table has been hand-crafted from solid flame mahogany with a beautiful grain and is in really excellent condition. It is an extending table and has three leaves which can be added or removed as required.
The table stands on four reeded legs which have been beautifully hand carved and are still fitted with their original brass and porcelain castors for ease of movement.
This table needs a bit of room when fully extended, measuring as it does, 76cm in height x 302cm in width x 130cm in depth when fully extended or 144cm in width with all leaves removed.
It’s offered for sale at £4750, fully restored in our own workshops and available to view in our London showroom.
Next we have this lovely circular Victorian Style Burr Walnut Marquetry Dining Table, measuring 5ft in diameter:
Victorian Style Burr Walnut Table
This table is so beautifully decorated, it seems a shame to cover it with a tablecloth. It is made by craftsman in the Victorian style and can seat six people in comfort.
The material used is burr walnut and the surface is decorated with exquisite marquetry designs including flowers, swirls, cherubs, musical instruments and geometric designs. The burr walnut has a beautiful grain and it has been expertly French polished to highlight that grain.
