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

Originating in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, gateleg tables were developed to maximise space in English homes. The Queen Anne period refined these designs with lighter proportions, turned legs, and the use of native hardwoods such as yew wood and oak.

These tables were typically constructed using native timber such as yew wood, walnut, or oak, joined with traditional mortise and tenon joints and wooden pegs. The pivoting legs, or gates, are hinged on wood or iron pivots to support the drop-down leaves.

Authentic 18th-century examples display evidence of hand-planed surfaces, subtle irregularities in turned legs, natural timber shrinkage along the grain, and hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers. Hardware such as hinges and drawer knobs often show signs of age-appropriate patination.

A gateleg table can serve as a compact dining option in a smaller room or be placed against a wall with leaves lowered to function as a side table. Pairing the table with clean-lined modern chairs creates a balanced contrast between historic wood textures and contemporary forms.

Keep the table in a stable environment away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood warping or fading. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain to preserve the surface finish and protect the timber.
