We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A gateleg table is a variant of the drop-leaf table featuring one or two hinged legs that swing outward like a gate to support folded leaves. Originating in England during the late 16th to early 17th century, this design provided adaptable surface area for compact living spaces.

Tables from this period were predominantly constructed from solid native timber, particularly oak. Construction features wooden peg joinery, hand-mortised joints, turned legs such as spiral or barley twist profiles, and stretchers along the base for stability.

Authentic period pieces show hand-planed surfaces, irregular wear consistent with age, and wooden dowel peg construction rather than modern screws. Oxidation in the timber joints and deep, natural patination built up from historic waxing are key indicators.

These flexible tables function as console tables or hall tables when the leaves are dropped, transforming into functional dining options when expanded. Placing minimalist contemporary ceramics or glassware on top creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Apply a clear, high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year using a lint-free cloth to maintain moisture in the wood. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent shrinking or splitting.
