FAQs

Gateleg tables gained immense popularity in Britain during the 17th and 18th centuries, prized for their space-saving drop leaves supported by hinged legs that swing out like gates.

These tables were traditionally constructed from domestic hardwoods such as oak, elm, walnut, and cherry, assembled using traditional joinery methods like pegged mortise and tenon joints.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned legs, irregular timber shrinkage, pegged joints, and aged patina with signs of wear consistent with centuries of use.

Pair the warm timber tones with minimalist contemporary seating or use it as a versatile side table in a living space to add historical character and textural contrast.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying periodic coats of natural beeswax, keeping the table away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight.
