Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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

Gateleg tables were first developed in 16th-century England during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras to maximise space in dining areas. They feature hinged side flaps supported by pivoting legs that fold flat against the central frame when not in use.

Traditional gateleg tables were predominantly crafted from solid native timbers such as English oak, walnut, or fruitwood. Construction techniques relied on hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, wooden peg fixings, and hand-turned baluster legs.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-planed timber, irregular joint gaps, original iron hinges, and natural uneven wear on the stretchers and feet where feet rested over centuries. Look for natural oxidation patterns in the oak grain.

A gateleg table can serve as a slim console table or hallway side table with its leaves folded down, or be extended as a dining table paired with modern Scandinavian or modern bentwood dining chairs to blend historical texture with clean lines.

Maintain antique oak by applying a thin layer of natural beeswax paste once or twice a year to preserve the patina and prevent drying. Keep the table away from direct heat sources such as radiators and mop up liquid spills immediately.
