The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A gateleg table is a type of drop-leaf table featuring hinged side flaps supported by pivoting leg frames, known as gates, which swing outward from the main frame when extended.

Tables from this period were crafted primarily from solid native timber such as oak or walnut, using hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, wooden pegs, and hand-forged iron hinges.

Authentic period pieces exhibit signs of hand-tooling, such as pit-saw marks or hand-planed surfaces, irregular turned legs, original peg construction, and natural age oxidation on the underside.

A gateleg table can be placed in a kitchen or dining area as a space-saving solution, or positioned against a wall with flaps folded down to serve as a console table.

Dust the timber regularly with a dry cloth, apply a natural beeswax polish along the wood grain twice yearly, and keep the table away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
