Description
A Regency Style Painted and Parcel Gilt Mahogany Extension Dining Table
19th Century
Height 28 x length 52 1/2 (closed) x width 42 inches.
Property from a Private Collection
Condition
Width fully extended 92 1/2 inches.
When closed in the circular position, the halves of the table are almost even, but not perfectly flight. The halves themselves are not warped, but depending on the floor and the position of the legs the halves do not sit perfectly level. The tops of the halves are either refinished or replaced entirely; they have a "flat" patina and color. The two removable leaves have age cracks across them. The base has some age-related wear and minor cracks / warping in the veneer, as well as a large section of chipped-off gilt with exposed gesso and wood. Overall it is a 19th century table with some later alterations and additions; sturdy and usable for dining. In-person viewing is available in Chicago by appointment; call 312-280-1212 for hours and location information.
