A Regency style burr walnut folding demi-lune dining table, likely English, early 20th century. The table features a semi-circular top that opens to form a round dining surface, raised on six tapered legs terminating in brass caps and castors. The frieze is veneered in richly figured burr walnut, contrasted by plainer walnut to the top, with clean lines typical of the Regency revival period. The construction includes a central gate-leg mechanism for support when opened. Originally designed to accommodate extension leaves, none are present. When closed, the table functions as a console or pier table; when opened, it serves as a compact dining table suitable for four to six.
Originally conceived as an extending dining table, this piece would have been accompanied by multiple leaves, allowing it to extend to an impressive length of eight feet or more. Those additional leaves are no longer present. However, bespoke replacements can be commissioned at an additional cost per leaf. Alternatively, should you prefer to use the table solely in its current form, our workshop can remove the two central support legs at no charge, creating a cleaner silhouette better suited to its fixed configuration.
