Sabre Leg | Regency Elegance | Fully Restored & French Polished by Elite

A magnificent and increasingly rare William IV period grand dining table, crafted from the most coveted cabinet wood ever used in English furniture making — Cuban Mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni).

This exceptional table represents the pinnacle of 19th-century English cabinet craftsmanship. Constructed by highly skilled English makers using traditional joinery and premium materials, it embodies the refined proportions and understated power of classic Regency design.

With its commanding sabre legs, elegant oval-ended top and generous scale, this is a table designed for distinguished interiors.

Design & Construction

  • Four substantial sabre legs
  • Elegant oval ends
  • Brass table fork extension mechanism
  • Hand-built English cabinet construction
  • Solid Cuban Mahogany throughout

The table connects securely via traditional brass table forks and extends effortlessly to accommodate large gatherings. The scale, balance and refinement of the form reflect the transition from late Regency into William IV styling — bold yet graceful.

Once fully extended, this impressive antique will comfortably seat 10–12 guests.

What is Cuban Mahogany?

Cuban Mahogany is widely regarded as the “King of Cabinet Woods.”

Historically harvested in the Caribbean and prized by 18th and 19th century English and French cabinet makers, it became the primary timber used in the finest furniture styles including:

  • Chippendale
  • Sheraton
  • Federal
  • Empire

Unlike modern commercial mahogany varieties, true Cuban Mahogany is:

  • Denser and stronger
  • Highly resistant to rot
  • Exceptionally dimensionally stable
  • Rich in deep reddish-brown tone
  • Subtly figured with elegant grain movement

By the early 20th century, Cuban Mahogany had been harvested to commercial extinction. Today it can only be found in antique furniture or rare salvaged material.

Owning a substantial Cuban Mahogany dining table is therefore not simply owning furniture — it is preserving a piece of cabinet-making history.

Professional Restoration & French Polishing

This table will be professionally restored and hand French polished by our highly skilled Elite restoration team.

To be finished in a traditional natural warm mahogany tone, the polishing process reveals the extraordinary depth and movement of the original Cuban Mahogany.

Using modern table-top French polishing systems, we achieve:

  • Deep lustrous shine
  • Enhanced durability
  • Improved heat resistance
  • Hard-wearing protection
  • Long-term maintainability

The result is a showroom-quality finish that retains antique integrity while providing practical usability.

The French polishing work alone carries a value well in excess of £1,000–£1,500.
