Lot Description
Miniature English 'Jupe' style mahogany extending dining table 19th century
In a baize lined fitted case, with three leaf extensions, the circular top over a fully working extending mechanism and raised on part-fluted and reeded tapered legs, the case bearing ivory label 'Stenhouse & Savage/ Makers/ London'. Note: Robert Jupe patented the design for this table in 1835 stating that the table was 'an improved expanding table so constructed that the sections composing its surface may be caused to diverge from a common centre and that the spaces caused thereby may be filled by inserting leaves or filling pieces'. Tables of this design were produced by Jupe in association with the cabinet-maker John Johnstone of New Bond Street.
Table H: 4 1/8, Diam: 8 5/8, extended 13 in.
