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 gate leg table is a type of drop-leaf furniture featuring hinged legs that swing outward like gates to support extended flaps. First introduced in England during the sixteenth century, this space-saving design became widely popular throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Early eighteenth-century examples were typically constructed from solid walnut or oak, using traditional mortise and tenon joinery. High-status pieces featured hand-turned legs, oak drawer linings, and hand-forged iron hinges to secure the drop flaps.

Authentic period pieces show signs of hand-planing, irregular tool marks, and hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers. Look for natural shrinkage in the timber joints, historic peg construction, and wear patterns on the stretchers where feet historically rested.

A period gate leg table functions effectively as a flexible dining option in modern homes, collapsing into a slim side table when not in use. Pair it with contemporary dining chairs or position it in an entryway to contrast historic woodwork against clean, contemporary walls.

Maintain the original surface by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a quality beeswax polish twice a year. Keep the table away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme humidity changes to prevent timber movement and cracking.
