FAQs

Drop leaf and gateleg tables gained immense popularity during the 18th century as versatile furniture pieces that could be easily folded down to save space when not in use.

Cabinetmakers during this era predominantly utilised dense hardwoods such as solid mahogany, oak, and walnut, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints and wooden pivot mechanisms.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-planed surfaces, natural patina, and timber characteristics consistent with 18th-century woodworking techniques.

This piece can function effectively as a space-saving dining table or a console against a wall, paired with minimalist contemporary chairs to create a balanced transitional aesthetic.

Maintain the wood by applying natural beeswax periodically, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and using coasters or placemats to protect the polished surface from moisture.
