£5,200 £4,160
Arthur Simpson attributed, in the style of C. F. A. Voysey, an exceptional quality English Arts & Crafts walnut extending dining table with wonderful figuring to the top and canted corners. It features an ogee molded edge all around. The apron below showcases subtle flowing details where it meets the top of the square legs with 45-degree chamfered details running down the gently tapering legs. The table boasts an unusual and slick sliding mechanism that you simply pull out, drop the leaf in place, and push together to shut. The leaf has the original brass latches to connect underneath to catches on the main tops. Fully extended with the leaf in place, it measures 108 1/2 inches, while the leaf itself measures 21 1/2 inches. The length without the leaf is 87 inches.
