VICTORIAN DINING TABLES

You can see from the sequence of photos how easy it is to set up Victorian dining tables. The Victorian dining table works on a leaf system where you can increase the size of the table by adding extra leaves. You can follow the photos below to see how the table grows in size with each extra leaf added. The table extends by a handle at the end you turn to increase or decrease the length of the table.

Each leaf on the mahogany Victorian dining table will measure approx 24 inches. Some tables have up to four leaves. The largest configuration of the dining table would be for large, upscale dinner parties. Victorian tables are also popular in executive boardrooms. We have sold Victorian tables that measure 24 feet long and can sit 28 – 30 people. Perfect for a UN conference!

We have a large range of Victorian tables on display in our Herts showroom so please contact for an appointment.

Walnut Victorian Dining Table – Leaf System

CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR RANGE OF WALNUT VICTORIAN DINING TABLES HERE

The great thing about these extending dining tables is they can be adjusted to suit the size of your gathering.  This table works via a wind up mechanism activated by a handle at the end of the table. Wind it up and it extends and you can slot in the extra leaves. A leaf is an extra section of wood – normally two feet wide – that slots to add length to the table.

Hence you can have the table small for smaller functions and everyday use – or large for bigger dinner parties. And of course Thanksgiving and Christmas!

In the middle of the table is the metal axel that winds the table up and down. At the smallest configuration with no leaves the table is oval. Some of the tables are round at their smallest configuration.

HAND CRAFTED DINING SETS – MADE IN ENGLAND

Why buy table and chair sets from us? Because they are hand made, a great investment and do wonders for the economy..

My new (well 3 years old) flat screen LCD Toshiba TV now shows lines on the screen. What happened there? It’s not as if I went for the cheapest brand either. I will have to trade it in and get a new one. That’s probably the shelf life of mass produced consumer durables – 3-5 years. Cheap plastic goods probably put together by mechanical robots in a large factory.

Which is why I am proud we sell the type of goods we sell. Hand made by skilled craft and tradesman to centuries old traditions in workshops in England. I am probably particularly talking about our table and chair sets – they just reek of quality and hark back to an older era where guilds of craftsman would lovingly make all goods.  A time when consumer durables were just that – durable. In fact so durable items made 400 years ago are still around today and command vase prices exactly because of that. Hand turned on a lathe, hammered and carved, chiseled and assembled, these table and chair sets will still be around in 300 years to come.

Walnut Dining Set

So not only will you be able to sit around the table and chairs and dine in true quality. You can sit comfortably knowing your purchase is an investment as it will only ever increase in value.

In these uncertain times of economic turmoil and unemployment, I often look back through rose tinted glasses to a time when old industries (like furniture and cabinet making) thrived. Trades and skills were passed down father to son. Products were made with love and care and built to last. That’s exactly how these table and chairs are still made today. Buy a piece of history and support the local economy.

We have a large range of dining furniture. Farmhouse furniture – refectory tables and chairs, oak spindleback chairs, ladderbacks, windsor chairs. Victorian dining tables, Regency pedestal tables, Chippendale chairs, Regency chairs, mahogany and walnut dining chairs.
