"Heywood Wakefield" Wishbone Dining Table


Perhaps the most iconic of the Heywood Wakefield designs, this "wishbone" table was also their top-of-the line table and their longest when fully extended.  It's three boomerang or wishbone legs and wing supported drop leaves make it an unparalleled example of 1950's design.  It can be used against a wall closed or with one leaf extended.  Closed it measures 40" w., 29" l., 29" h.  With both drop leaves up it measures 56" l.  Each loose leaf is 18" and fully extended it stretches to  94".  American, c. 1950  SOLD
