One of the most unusual dining tables we have ever owned. I strongly believe that this rarity is a product of the Merklen Spiral Furniture Company of New York. That fine 19th Century maker specialized in American Aesthetic Movement furniture in a Moorish Taste. Most of the pieces they produced were small furniture such as pedestals and plant stands. I have never seen another dining table in this style. Solid mahogany throughout, the top is a rounded corner square, with a highly detailed apron. The base is turned legs ending in claw feet, connected by a curved and incised rail on which is mounted four spiral spindles. The center is supported by an additional two turned legs. This fine example of top quality Late Victorian American furniture is all original, down to the original case for storing it's four original leaves. We have lightly re-polished the table top since these pictures were taken to clean and even the original finish, and can take additional pictures if desired. Everything else is in very good, completely original condition. 44" x 44" square x 29 3/4" tall, closed, 4 original leaves, 12 1/2" wide, each, 94" long fully extended.
