Know before you buy
This table includes leaves that allow the width to expand from 61 inches to 85 inches. The leaves are designed to integrate with the existing parquet top to maintain the table's structural integrity and aesthetic consistency.
The table features its original light wood finish, which has aged naturally over the decades. It displays a beautiful, authentic patina that reflects its 1940s origins, though you should expect minor signs of wear consistent with its vintage age.
The table offers an underside clearance of 26.25 inches. While this accommodates most standard dining chairs, we recommend measuring your specific chair arms to ensure they slide easily beneath the apron.
Yes, the robust pedestal base and solid wood construction provide excellent stability. Its generous surface area and historical character make it a sophisticated choice for use as an executive desk or a statement workspace.
To preserve the original patina, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture. We recommend dusting with a soft, dry cloth and using a high-quality, wax-based wood polish sparingly if the surface appears dry.
