This superb large 18th Century Country Oak Drop-Leaf Gateleg Dining Table is full of the charm and character you would expect from a genuine period piece. Crafted using traditional pegged construction, it features two generous oval drop leaves that open to comfortably seat six to eight people.
The solid oak top, a full inch thick, rests on finely turned supports with a classic gateleg mechanism, joined by moulded cross stretchers that provide strength and stability. The original handmade iron hinges are beautifully forged, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period and adding to the table’s authentic appeal.
