FAQs

Gateleg tables originated in the seventeenth century and remained popular throughout the Georgian era as space-saving dining solutions. Their design incorporates hinged legs that pivot outward to support folding top leaves.

These tables were constructed from solid native timber, such as English oak, using mortise and tenon joinery. The leaves attached via hand-forged iron hinges, supported by turned wooden legs connected with perimeter stretchers.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-planed timber, irregular underside construction, hand-forged iron hardware, and natural surface wear along the stretchers.

A gateleg table functions as a versatile dining table or console table in modern spaces. Folding one or both leaves allows the piece to rest against a wall or behind a sofa when not fully opened.

Maintain the wood finish by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and maintain stable ambient humidity to prevent timber movement.
