The Fold-over expandable table was hand-crafted between 1790-1810. Finely constructed with attention to detail. Walnut wood is throughout, starting as a well sized Demi-Lune console at 59" x 24", which is easy to navigate and position on the back of a sofa or against a wall. Brass Hinges open the table and all 10 legs are on Brass casters with Wood wheels. The first "Pull-Out" option to rest the folded top on, is also a hidden drawer to house Napkins, Flatware, etc
The Fold-over top opens to a small table, also adequate as a console, entry table, or for a family or small dinner party. In addition to the table are three large leaves (27" each)` that, when inserted, expands the table to 129", and a width of 57-59" wide.
This sizes are perfect for the family that, at times, prefers a table large enough for the immediate family, but can transform into a larger table for gatherings such as Shabbat Dinner, Holiday gatherings, a large banquet and buffet or a game table that can seat up to 16-18 People.
Due to the ability to be relatively small, as a console, this piece is ideal for families that want to place the Demi lune in a tighter spot than a 129" dining table.
Included are two brass clips to secure the table when in fully opened position. less
