NIF 15A - Wylie & Lochhead - A Superior quality ENORMOUS Arts & Crafts oak extending dining table with canted corners & square tapering legs with the original brass & ceramic castors. This dining table will seat upto 16 people very comfortably even 18 at a little push. It has a very well thought out central leg making it as sturdy as a rock when fully extended & amazingly still has it's 6 original leaves. It was made by the famous Glasgow company Wylie & Lochhead with the original W&L metal label beneath. This is the longest Arts & Crafts dining table I have ever seen in all my 21 years specialising or ever had the good fortune to come across. To still have all of it's original 6 leaves with it after over a 100 years of life is a dream come true making this not just incrediable by it's sheer size but also totally 101% original & it even has it's original winding handle YAY ! All in all a very very rare find indeed. The condition is totally original & the oak totally straight without any warping whatsoever & the extending mechanism is perfect, it extends & retracts beautifully. It will need re-finishing which we will not do until it is sold, therefore it can be colour matched to any chairs or any other furniture/panelling etc that it will eventually be with & once this table has been re-finished it will look truly astonishing. It is difficult to see the elegance of this table just from images because of the sheer size of it & if you are interested I would certainly advise seeing this remarkable table in the flesh to be able to absorb it's true beauty. Do feel free to call me on 07966 371676, my kindest regards Tony.
