Large 19th Century Portuguese Rosewood Extending Dining Table
A substantial late 19th-century Portuguese rosewood extending dining table, having a beautifully figured rectangular top bordered by a boldly carved gadrooned edge. The table is supplied with two additional leaves, allowing it to be adjusted in length for everyday use or larger gatherings. The top displays some slight movement between the individual sections, consistent with the natural character and age of the timber.
The deep frieze is decorated with geometric moulded panels and a finely carved lower edge. It stands on four impressive barley-twist legs with boldly turned upper sections and block details, united by shaped stretchers and a panelled central support. The rich rosewood has a deep, warm colour with attractive natural figuring throughout.
