The progressively scalable extension is ensured by two key slides slides oak wood stretching depending on the number of desired extensions. Each of the two extensions in solid walnut is provided with side strips mortise tenons to fit those of the table; this allows a homogeneous visual seyant, laterally hiding the extension of the slides while stiffening the entire table. Patinated identically and forming part of the structure, the two walnut extensions can therefore remain durable and aesthetic. Like all eighteenth century period furniture, this table is entirely mounted with pegged mortise tenons.

The addition of the flying raw length can allow two more covers, bringing the capacity of the table from twelve to fourteen guests.

Closed without extending the table measures 136cm long and 137.5cm. Height 72cm. Use and maintenance restorations, in particular: the two original (vintage) oak slides have undergone a complete overhaul to facilitate their opening. The entire table has been treated in depth and weathered. It should be noted that the two banded outriggers in solid walnut are of manufacture, because the so-called flying timepieces were of more common essence.
