The Jupe table is one of furniture history's most ingenious inventions. Patented by Robert Jupe in 1835, the design uses a radial mechanism that expands a round table to accommodate additional leaf segments, transforming a six-seat table into one that seats twelve, all without breaking the circular form.
Our Jupe dining tables are faithful to the original engineering while incorporating modern refinements for smooth, reliable operation. The mechanism is built from solid brass and steel components, housed within a base of hand-turned mahogany. When closed, the table presents a seamless round top; when opened, the leaves fill the gaps with precision that borders on the theatrical.
These tables are conversation pieces in every sense. They're also exceptionally practical for those who entertain regularly but don't want a permanently large table dominating the room. Available in several diameters and finish options.
