This late 17th-century Jacobean dining table is formed of solid oak in a dark brown timber colour. It stands on boldly turned baluster legs joined by a sturdy stretcher base, and incorporates drop-leaf flaps alongside a single end drawer fitted with a small round wooden knob. The heavy construction displays visible signs of age and wear across its patinated surfaces. Practical for everyday dining or as a statement piece in a rustic farmhouse interior, this gateleg table measures 75 cm high, 143 cm wide, and 122 cm deep. It functions well in a kitchen, dining room, or living space to accommodate gatherings when fully extended.

FAQs

A gateleg dining table is a type of drop-leaf table featuring legs that pivot outwards to support hinged flaps, allowing the tabletop to expand for dining or fold down for space efficiency.

Seventeenth-century gateleg tables were predominantly constructed from solid English oak, featuring pegged mortise and tenon joinery, turned baluster legs, and iron hinges.

Authentic 17th-century examples typically feature hand-planed oak surfaces, original wooden peg construction, turned legs showing uneven wear from age, and drawers constructed with early hand-cut joinery.

A gateleg table can be used with leaves dropped as a narrow side table against a wall or fully expanded as a compact dining table paired with modern or period seating.

Maintain the timber by applying high-quality beeswax twice a year, clearing dust with a soft microfibre cloth, and positioning the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
