Antique English Victorian extendable table in solid mahogany. 19th century period.

English Victorian table in solid mahogany extendable by tearing more than double the closed size.

Four beautiful feet with a tulip shape have a carving of a leaf motif alternating with flowers in the upper part, while in the lower part they end with four burnished bronze wheels from the same period as the table.

The top has rounded corners and has a reverse groove edge, an element of great elegance and refinement.

Historical notes: The term Victorian period refers to the reign of the great Queen Victoria, who ruled England from 1837 to 1901: a period of great changes and better living conditions, these seventy years were also characterized by greater rigor in every aspect of life, including furnishings.

Thus was born the Victorian style, original and inimitable, which became the English style par excellence, distinctive of the new bourgeois class.

Provenance: 1840th century England (50/XNUMX)
