Extending a Victorian dining table with a leaf system and wind out mechanism – explainer vidto ftpm Canonbury Antiques . Great piece of Victorian technology.
This Victorian dining table features a traditional wind-out extension mechanism. By turning a removable handle, a threaded screw system gently separates the table, allowing additional leaves to be inserted and transforming it from a family dining table into a grand entertaining piece. Can extend from four feet to twenty four feet depending on type of table and occasion.

Mom has a 100+ year old dining table that when you pull it apart, the two expansion leaves are tucked under the center. They fold out when you need them then fold back in and flat under when you don't. You can expand it to how ever many leaves you want. I've made it very clear to my mother when she wants to get rid of it, it's mine.🤣
My grandparents have a table like this! Supposedly over 150 years old, passed down through the family, has 4-5 leaves to expand it to a truly massive size. We once had it extended across the kitchen AND living room for thanksgiving. Easily seated 30+. Can't wait to move it into my own home some day ❤
I have one but not as old
