FAQs

Gateleg tables gained immense popularity in 17th-century Britain during the Jacobean and Stuart periods, designed to maximise floor space by folding down when not in use.

These tables are traditionally constructed from solid English oak, featuring hinged drop leaves supported by swing-out legs, often adorned with hand-turned spiral or barley twist components.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit traditional joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, hand-planed surfaces, timber shrinkage, and patina consistent with age.

Position the table against a wall with one or both leaves dropped as a console, or open it fully in a dining space to introduce historical warmth and texture to contemporary schemes.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a soft cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the wood.
