South-West Germany
Cherry
Mid 19th century
Dimensions: H x W x L: 76 x 109 x 129 cm, extendable to 502 cm
Description:
Gigantic extendable table from the late Biedermeier period in west-south-west Germany.
When pushed together, we see an almost delicate-looking oval table with six conically tapering round legs and a solid cherry top. The two halves of the table are joined together with iron hooks, while an additional wooden guide ensures a precise fit.
The table can be pulled apart to a total length of 502 cm with the help of a so-called link system, i.e. a rail system made of interlocking timbers. The eight insert boards have widths of around 40-50 cm, so that intermediate lengths are of course also possible.
Two additional pairs of legs can be fitted for additional stability over the long length.
Condition:
Restored condition. The surface has been treated with shellac and then oiled.
Price: This table is already sold. Please contact me if you are looking for a comparable piece of furniture.
