Thank you for shopping with Bay Colony Antiques. We're a third generation family owned business furnishing homes all over the world. We aggressively pursue important antiques, decorative arts, and objects of interest for our most discerning clients.
With our highest compliments we're proud to offer for sale this exceptional 9+ feet mahogany double pedestal dining table by Henkel Harris. Henkel Harris continues to produce some of the finest home furnishings with exquisite attention to detail of timeless antique designs. The partnership began in 1940's between the Henkel family and John Harris. The unlikely trio was rather inexperienced in cabinet making but spent countless hours studying antiques they coveted so highly. They paid particular mind to the way these timeless treasures were crafted and finished and sought out to recreate the quality of Americas golden age of cabinetry. Henkel Harris furniture cost an exorbitant amount new from the showroom, this table is in excellent condition and available for a fraction of it's original price. This table stands on two wonderfully formed snake leg pedestals decorated with crisp ringlet turnings and terminating in pad feet. This table is crafted from select cuts of African & South American mahogany. Those who follow us know we generally deal in 18th & 19th century furniture so we're no stranger to attractive cuts of mahogany. This example has a wonderful oil density and grain giving an attractive glow and pleasing visual effect. The table runners actuate smoothly and the table has 4 12" leaves with it expanding to 113 1/2" long when fully opened. When the table is closed it measures 66" long x 48" wide x 30 3/4" tall.
