Small Queen Anne Oak Gateleg Table

17th century
For Sale by Holmes Antiques
Description

An early 18th Century Queen Anne Oak Gateleg Table of rare small proportions with Braganza foot. It is a lovely colour and in good original condition. The drawer knob replaced many years ago, one hinge replaced and a 3cm strip replaced to the inside edge of one of the leaves. The pegs are untouched throughout, the original corner brackets are still in place to the underneath of the long rail under the top, this rail unusually has a gap between the top. This feature is documented on a remarkably similar table in the book English Country Furniture by David Knell.

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 Queen Anne gateleg table typically dates from the early 18th century and features hinged drop leaves supported by swinging leg assemblies, often termed gates. These tables combine compact storage capabilities with expanded surface area, characterised by turned legs and stretchers.

Early gateleg tables were crafted using solid oak joined with peg-and-tenon joints. The swinging gate legs utilize wooden pivots, while the drop leaves are secured with iron butterfly or rule hinges.

Authentic pieces display signs of hand-planing, irregular wear on stretchers, hand-forged hardware, and natural shrinkage across the grain over time. Original mortise and tenon construction with visible wooden pegs also indicates period manufacture.

An oak gateleg table functions well as a flexible side table, hallway console with one leaf raised, or a compact dining solution. Its dark wood offers a grounding element when placed alongside neutral upholstered furniture.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain to maintain the timber. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent splitting.
