Mahogany veneer on pine, beech, stained and repolished, hammered brass plinth, with unusual envelope opening action, brass and metal fittings for the extension parts, very good condition.

Extendable from 120 cm to 234 cm, suitable for up to 10 persons

It is unusual to find a round dining table with integrated extensions. The table has an extremely clever in-built mechanism which allows two folded extension tops to be hoisted into position using a special lifting mechanism and vertical adjustment slide. The operation maintains the height of 77 cm and extends the table to 234 cm which then offers comfortable seating for ten people.
