This is a fabulous antique French oval flame mahogany and marquetry inlaid extending dining table, circa 1880 in date with a matching set of twenty inlaid dining chairs,. This huge 19ft table can comfortably seat twenty and has been hand-crafted from flame mahogany which has a beautiful grain and colour. It is raised on four elegant inlaid square legs on a quatrefoil plinth base centred with a large decorative carved classical urn. It has a decorative band of marquetry inlaid satin wood around the border with a band of wave marquetry around the frieze. The table has five leaves of 75 cms each, which can be added or removed as required to suit the occasion. Wth all 5 leaves removed the table becomes a decorative centre table 200cm (5ft6") by 142cm (4ft6") in size that can comfortably seat 8 people for everyday dining. When you extend the table and add the leaves a pair of inlaid legs drop down at either end to give the table it's stability. The leaves can be added one by one until the desired length has been achieved. The beautiful set of twenty flame mahogany dining chairs comprises eighteen side chairs and two armchairs and compliments the table perfectly. They are made from solid mahogany with inlaid satin wood cross banding accented with boxwood and ebony line inlay. They stand on elegant reeded tapering front legs with sabre back legs. They all have drop in seats which are upholstered in a striking burgundy and gold fabric. The seat cushions can be removed to reveal cane seats which allow for cooler and more comfortable dining in the warmer summer months.

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. Satin wood is a hard and durable wood with a satinlike sheen, much used in cabinetmaking, especially in marquetry. It comes from two tropical trees of the family Rutaceae (rue family). East Indian or Ceylon satin wood is the yellowish or dark-brown heartwood of Chloroxylon swietenia. The lustrous, fine-grained, usually figured wood is used for furniture, cabinetwork, veneers, and backs of brushes. West Indian satin wood, sometimes called yellow wood, is considered superior. It is the golden yellow, lustrous, even-grained wood found in the Florida Keys and the West Indies. It has long been valued for furniture. It is also used for musical instruments, veneers, and other purposes. Satin wood is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Sapindales, family Rutaceae.
