Rectangular, oval or round dining tables, supported by a central pedestal column. Georgian pedestals usually had four splay legs, gracefully curved and ending with claw or bucket brass castors. The pedestal itself was slender and tapering, and the table top, usually made from one piece of timber, did not have an apron. If the edge of the top is reeded, the splay legs ought also be reeded. From the Regency period, the pedestals sometimes stood on a platform base, often with carved claw feet. After the 1820s the pedestals tended to become heavier, with bulbous rings and swellings eventually assuming the typical Victorian baluster shape. Longer tables, often with rounded ends, were supported on at least two pedestals. Those made to have extension leaves inserted, were equipped with brass clips or winding mechanism, and additional pedestals frequently provided further support.
