As usual, Bradford's Antiques has yet another great piece of R. J. Horner furniture for sale. This time it's a 12 foot dining table with four 20" leaves which are skirted and carved to match the carvings on the table top for the fully extended 12 foot length. I think this one is so grand I probably wouldn't eat on it! Here are more details from the
