FAQs

Gateleg tables gained immense popularity in 17th-century Britain during the Stuart and Jacobean periods. They were designed to save space, featuring hinged flaps that could be lowered when not in use and supported by swinging legs.

These tables are predominantly crafted from solid English oak, frequently joined using traditional methods such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-turned wooden legs, and wooden pegs rather than modern metal fasteners.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as hand-adzed surfaces, natural timber shrinkage, pegged joints, and patination developed through centuries of use and waxing.

An antique gateleg table adds warmth and character to contemporary spaces when contrasted with minimalist seating or used as a versatile console table with minimal decorative objects atop.

Preserve antique oak by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting. Regularly apply microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood and maintain its protective finish.
