FAQs

An 18th-century drop-leaf table features a fixed central section with hinged flaps on either side that can be raised and supported by swing legs or gates, designed to save space when not in use.

These tables were typically crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, utilising traditional joinery like mortise and tenon, hand-turned wooden legs, and swing-out gate supports.

Authenticity is assessed by examining timber ageing, hand-cut joinery marks, iron or brass pivot hinges, irregular grain patterns, and the natural patina developed over centuries of use.

This piece works well as a space-saving dining solution or a feature console against a wall, paired with minimalist contemporary seating to create a balanced contrast between old and new.

Maintain the finish by keeping the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying pure beeswax to nourish the wood.
