Antique French Louis XVI Walnut Draw Leaf Dining Table is a study in classical architecture!  Tailored lines of the top and leaves transition to a rectilinear apron around the entirety, with rosettes and bell flowers carved in bas relief on the long sides.  Support is provide by four substantial tapered and fluted column legs, lavished with acanthus plumes and joined together at plinth blocks with rosettes by a double-lyre stretcher design which allows maximum foot room yet sturdy reinforcement to the design.  The original finish allows the sheer natural beauty of the wood to shine forth.  Leaves draw out in an instant to accommodate extra guests, then just as easily tuck back in to reclaim valuable floor space.  An ingenious design!
Circa early 1900s
