Art Deco extending dining table in lacquered maple, attributed to Maison Jules Leleu, France, circa 1930.

• Maple veneer with a high-gloss lacquer finish
• Four tapered legs, connected in pairs by crossbars, with original decorative brass accents.
• Tabletop with diamond-patterned maple veneer marquetry, edged with fine, curved inlay bands likely made of plum wood.
• Attributed to Jules Leleu / Maison Leleu based on the design, ornamentation, and inlays.
• Molded lower edge of the tabletop and extension sections on both ends.
• The front interior of the extension sections is lined with white leather and functions as a drawer. When extended further, an additional softwood extension panel approximately 40–60 cm long can be inserted on each side to extend the table to approximately 280–300 cm. These extension panels can be custom-made and included upon request. Currently, only the pull-outs with drawers are in use.
