About the Item

This is a wonderful quality 20th Century example of Robert Jupe's flame mahogany circular extending dining table with a set of eight dining chairs, all dating from the second half of the 20th century. This fascinating table illustrates all the very best elements of English cabinet-making combined with the remarkable burst of inventiveness of the Industrial Revolution. It was not until John Johnstone and Robert Jupe patented their ingenious design in March 1835 for an expanding round table,that round dining tables, which had suffered from the problem of not offering flexibility of seating, could compete with the established rectangular extending dining tables. The table has a superb decorative crossbanded sunburst top with five peripheral leaves around the circumference that can be added or removed to suit the occasion. The table is raised on four gun barrel turned pillars to the octagonal plateau with four curved supports terminating with bronze caps and castors, and that gives this table it's superb stability. The Vintage set of eight side chairs were masterfully crafted in beautiful solid mahogany that has a wonderful faded patina, the oval backs with shaped and pierced sun rondal and they feature beautiful hand carved bow and leaf decoration. The drop in seats seats are upholstered in a sumptuous red and gold striped fabric. They are raised on elegant square tapering legs with spade feet. The table is set with eight chairs when extended and six when the top is retracted. There is no mistaking the fine craftsmanship of this handsome set, which is certain to become a treasured addition to your furniture collection, and a talking point with guests at meal times. Condition: In excellent condition having been beautifully cleaned and polished and the chairs reupholstered in our workshops, please see photos for confirmation.

Matching his words to his work, Sheraton designed much mahogany furniture. The qualities that impressed Sheraton are particularly evident in a distinctive pattern of wood called "flame mahogany." The flame figure in the wood is revealed by slicing through the face of the branch at the point where it joins another element of the tree. In 1835 Robert Jupe was granted British Patent No. 6788 for an expanding table. The original Jupe expanding table includes a table top that is divided into a number of sections. Each section is connected to an underlying frame structure, such that when the table top is rotated, the sections move radially outward, increasing the effective size of the table top. Once the table top has been rotated to move the table top sections outward, leaves are inserted between the sections, so as to fill in the spaces created by the outward movement of the sections. Because the table top sections diverge and move radially outward from a central point, the Jupe table top retains its shape in its expanded configuration. The Jupe table has now become one of the most valuable and sought after antiques. Original Jupe tables in good condition may sell for up to $350,000 at the time of writing. However, despite its popularity, the Jupe table has been very difficult to mass produce, because its workings are both extremely complex and entirely handcrafted. For example, the frame structure that supports the table top sections in the Jupe table is comprised of many individual beam structures that are secured together to form the frame. Each of those beams must be individually made and assembled to exacting tolerances in order to ensure that the table top sections will move freely and mate in the center of the table top to form a substantially contiguous table surface in both the contracted and expanded configurations. The manufacture of such a structure is time-consuming and is not conducive to rapid production. Other aspects of the Jupe table design also make the design difficult to implement. For example, in at least some of the existing examples of functioning Jupe tables, the pivot for the table top is a threaded rod that runs the entire length of the table pedestal. That is an extremely difficult and time-consuming configuration to replicate. Our reference: A2257a.
