Expanding table

At the beginning of the 19th century, Robert Jupe developed expandable round tables. David Boardman Fletcher further refined this invention at the end of the 20th century. The table top can be enlarged in the twinkling of an eye. An embedded star comes to light.
A fascinating table. The precise craftsmanship and a sophisticated mechanism make it possible to expand the round table with just one hand.
