FAQs

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, hand-cut joints, natural patina from age, wear consistent with centuries of use, and traditional fixings such as wrought iron or brass hinges.

An antique gateleg table works well as a space-saving dining solution or a centre table in a living room, pairing naturally with both modern minimalist chairs and vintage seating to create contrast.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and cleaning gently with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth.

These tables were typically constructed from solid native timbers such as oak, elm, or walnut, featuring mortise and tenon joints, wooden pins, and hinged drop leaves supported by swing-out legs.

The Georgian era spans the reigns of the first four Georges from 1714 to 1830, characterised by architectural proportions, classical influences, and a transition from heavier oak to lighter timbers like mahogany as the period progressed.
