The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A gateleg table is a type of drop-leaf table fitted with hinged legs, known as gates, that swing outward to support the extended leaves. Originating in 16th-century England, these tables were produced extensively throughout the 18th century for flexible dining spaces.

These tables were typically constructed from solid timbers such as English oak, using hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs. The legs were commonly turned on a lathe, and structural stretchers were fitted near the base for stability.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular wooden peg joinery, and natural shrinkage across the grain that often creates a slightly asymmetrical top. Additional indicators include hand-wrought iron hinges and hand-shaped drawer linings.

A gateleg table provides adaptable functionality in contemporary spaces, serving as a slim console or side table when folded against a wall, or opening fully to function as a dining table paired with modern or traditional seating.

Maintain the finish by applying a quality beeswax polish along the direction of the wood grain twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent timber movement, and clean surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
