Eiis1beihan d,ow IeGf table. from Arthw s.
VOHay.
This old oak dining table. which was
made somewhere about the year
1900. proclaims the Elizabethan
era as loudly as If it wore a ruff and
a farthingale. In fact. it would re-
quire no great stretch Of imagination
to picture its sturdy legs incased in
the latter. Its weight. elaborate
carving and the ample bulbousness
OF its underpinnins proclaim it to
be a very disni6ed table indeed
one which must have groaned under
the weight of enormous banquets.
When these parties were select. the
table was left as you see it here;
when more guests were invited. the
heavy under slabs were drawn out
at the ends. nearly doubling the
spread of the top. 1t is the direct
lineal ancestor Of our own extension
table.
