Robert Jupe was first granted his patent for a circular extending dining table with segmented top in March 1835. The originals were designed not only to extend to a larger circle but by inserting a few of the additional leaves the table could be made into an oval or oblong table. The first such tables were produced by the firm of John Johnstone of New Bond Street (subsequently Johnstone & Jeanes).
