Lot 691 , George IV mahogany extending dining table, W.3ft 8.5in., Extended length 10ft 5in(-)

A George IV mahogany extending dining table, with ropetwist legs and turned ball feet, W.3ft 8.5in., Extended length 10ft 5in.
Estimate £300-500

This table looks to have been stripped and repolished within the past 10 years or so, colour is a slightly raw reddish mahogany lacking deep patina, the top has a number of fine surface nicks and scratches commensurate with normal wear and tear, one D end is slightly more faded than the rest and has a 9 inch hairline split running in from one side, brass clip fittings missing from some of the connections, underframe of similar colour and with similar fair wear and tear, overall a reasonable table that would benefit from a better state of polish.
