Dining Table, 18th-century Mahogany Directoire Style

Directoire-style mahogany dining table – Late 18th century – Six legs

A beautiful, large Directoire-style dining table dating from the late 18th century, crafted from mahogany.

When closed, this table features an elegant round top measuring 113.5 cm in diameter, composed of several folding panels. It rests on six turned baluster legs, typical of this period, which lend it great elegance while ensuring good stability when extended.

Its ingenious design allows the table to be extended considerably. When fully extended with its extensions, it reaches a length of 2.60 meters, comfortably seating a large group of guests. The photographs clearly show the extension mechanism and the unfolding of the central structure.

The original mahogany sections feature a beautiful, deep, warm hue, with particularly attractive grain patterns on both semicircular ends.

A beautiful Directoire-style table from the late 18th century, notable for its proportions, its six-legged base, and above all for its ability to transform from a relatively compact round table into a large reception table.
