Queen Anne Period Oak Six Leg Gateleg Drop Leaf Table c.1700 Antique English

DESCRIPTION

A good Queen Anne period oak six-legged gateleg table, dating from around 1700. A handsome and honest example, retaining its original top, base and drop leaves, with a rich, deep colour and well-developed patina acquired over more than three centuries.

The rectangular top incorporates two drop leaves, supported on swinging gate legs, allowing the table to be used either as a compact side table or fully extended as a practical side, lamp or occasional table. It stands on attractively turned baluster legs united by plain stretchers, all displaying pleasing proportions typical of the Queen Anne period.

 

A genuine early 18th-century table with excellent character and useful proportions.

CONDITION

Presented in good, honest antique condition, commensurate with over 300 years of age and use. The table retains its original top, base and drop leaves with a rich original colour and patina. There are expected marks, knocks, scratches and water staining to the top. Some of the original hinges remain present, although their action is now provided by later adjacent hinges of the same design due to deterioration of the originals. The frame is solid and sturdy with no significant structural issues and the gatelegs move smoothly, making this an attractive and authentic example of an early Queen Anne gateleg table.

    Thank you for viewing this piece from ALSO Antiques.

     

    We carefully select antique furniture and decorative objects for their quality, craftsmanship, character and individuality.

    We strive to describe every item as accurately and honestly as possible. Statements regarding age, attribution, origin and provenance are offered in good faith and represent our professional opinion based on the information available at the time of listing.

     

    As all of our items are antique or vintage, signs of age and use should be expected. Old repairs, knocks, wear, variations in colour and other minor imperfections are often part of a piece’s history and character. Where condition affects its integrity, appearance or usefulness, we will endeavour to make this clear in the description.
