Description

Vintage mid century G Plan extending dining table made in the 1960s probably, though could possibly be late 1950s. It has the gold E Gomme stamp which I believe dates it fairly reliably. The range is called Librenza and features teak and veneer construction with mid sheen black painted components: the base in this case. The top of the table is in two sections which slide apart allowing an extending leaf, stored in a handy slot below, to be inserted. Probably designed for 4-6 seats but you could get 8 round it if you're friendly.. The legs taper down to brass feet; these can be wound in or out to get the piece level on any floor (within reason..). The top can be completely removed for transport. Condition is pretty good structurally: it's solid and sound and the top slides fine. Cosmetically there are a few age related scuffs, bumps and marks though not a lot really. Some wear to the black paint here and there. The top was quite worn so we stripped and gently sanded it, then gave it a couple of coats of finishing oil: enough to give it reasonable water resistance without it being too glossy. There are some small areas to the edge which are lighter coloured where the veneer has worn (see pics); again not a huge issue. Dimensions: 117cm x 73cm x 137cm closed/188cm open
