Dining Table

Oak

Cabinetmaker manufacturer

With a remarkable know-how-craftsmanship, this table consists of an extendable dining table that, which could easily accommodate up to 16 people when fully open.

The feet are ingeniously constructed on very discrete half spheres that hold metal balls acting as rollers. The table extensions were lost, but a furniture maker of your choice could easily reproduce them.

In the modern early 20th century, between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, furniture was produced in the Arts and Crafts, Mission and Craftsman styles. Many of the nowadays iconic architects and designers from that era have later inspired generations of furniture makers whose designs bear great resemblance to theirs. Today these "heavy wood furniture" getting used to decorate an entire living space, blended with contemporary and synthetic materials, or, used sparingly in eclectic homes, make a big statement of power.

Table in good condition except of the missing middle extensions.
