What Is a Jupe Table?
The Jupe expanding dining table was invented in 1835 by English cabinet maker Theodore Alexander Robert Jupe. His patented design allowed the circular table surface to expand radially from a central point, inserting curved leaves to create a larger diameter while maintaining symmetry.
Often referred to as:
- Radial tables
- Expanding circular tables
- Lotus tables
A Jupe table is both a feat of craftsmanship and a statement piece. Closed, it offers intimate dining where every guest can see one another. Extended, it transforms into a grand entertaining table ideal for larger gatherings.
It is quite simply one of the most elegant and intelligent dining table mechanisms ever designed.
Materials & Craftsmanship
This table is constructed using rich Cherry and Burr Ash veneers, incorporating multiple burr sections — the rare and highly prized growth formations within timber that produce dramatic swirling grain patterns.
The top features:
- Exquisite hand-cut marquetry
- Classical swags and ribbon inlays
- Radial grain symmetry
- Deep lustrous French polished finish
Burr timber represents the most decorative and valuable portion of the tree. The marquetry work enhances both the natural figuring and the overall Art Deco influence.
Every element of this table reflects the work of highly skilled cabinet makers and finishing specialists.
French Polished to the Highest Standard
Hand professional French polishing remains the finest finish available for luxury furniture, particularly dining table tops.
Our modern table-top French polish systems provide:
- Exceptional depth and clarity
- A rich mirror-like lustre
- Improved durability
- Moderate heat resistance
- Ease of long-term maintenance and repair
Unlike lacquer-only finishes, French polish can be sympathetically refreshed over time, preserving both beauty and investment value.
For premium dining tables, we strongly recommend this finish for both visual impact and longevity.
A Note on Oil-Based Finishes
We strongly advise against basic oil-only finishes for dining tables.
Oil finishes offer limited protection and are highly vulnerable to marking, staining, and wear from regular use. We frequently restore oil-finished tables that have deteriorated prematurely.
A professionally applied French polish or specialist lacquer system offers vastly superior protection and durability.
Alternative Finish Options
We also offer:
- Clear lacquer finishes
- Colour lacquer finishes in any Farrow & Ball shade
- Professional AC two-pack lacquer systems
Our lacquer systems are not simple brush-applied paint finishes. They are professional-grade, environmentally safe AC two-pack lacquer systems — among the strongest and most durable finishes available for furniture.
These finishes are particularly suitable for table bases and dining chairs where durability under heavy use is essential.
Bespoke Manufacturing Available
We specialise in bespoke handmade dining tables and chairs.
We can manufacture:
- Any diameter or size
- Tables up to 20ft+
- Custom marquetry
