Description :
This elegant French extendable dining table dates from the Art Deco period, circa 1930–1940, and showcases the refined craftsmanship and balanced proportions characteristic of early 20th-century French design. The table is crafted primarily from solid cherrywood and cherry veneer, a wood highly appreciated in French furniture for its warm golden tone and beautifully figured grain.
The rectangular top is decorated with a subtle geometric inlaid design, featuring darker wood stringing forming a central diamond motif framed by a rectangular border. This understated decoration enhances the natural beauty of the wood while maintaining the elegant simplicity typical of the Art Deco aesthetic.
The table rests on a sculptural double lyre-shaped pedestal base, a striking architectural element that also provides excellent stability while allowing generous legroom for diners. The graceful curves of the base contrast beautifully with the clean lines of the tabletop.
In its closed position, the table comfortably seats eight people, making it ideal for everyday dining. When extended with its leaves, it can accommodate up to fourteen guests, making it perfectly suited for entertaining.
The table remains in very good vintage condition with a lovely patina. There is a light scratch on one of the extension leaves, which becomes invisible when the leaf is folded inside the table.
A refined and practical piece that combines elegant French design with exceptional functionality.
