Offered by: Good Design

Description
Classical Plinth Topped X-Based Robsjohn-Gibbings Dining Table. It comes with one leaf and was made by Widdicomb in the 40's and 50's. This strong design is a beloved icon of the Post war period. The mechanism which moves the table apart is precise and a joy to behold made by the Perfection Table Slide company of Watertown Wisconsin who at the time were the prominent company making this type of device.
