hunts table?

[shivvy]

I spotted a table that I loved in an antique shop and didn't buy it at the time. Unfortunately it has now been sold but I think the shop owner said that it was called a "hunts table".
It was about 9ft long but very narrow (about 1ft). When the leaves were opened it made a long oval shape.
Does anyone know what these look like or whether the name sounds right?

It doesn't sound like a hunt table to me. Wrong size entirely.

I think it is a wake table - but some people are put off by the thought of all those coffins lying on it - so sellers give them other names.
