Antique Oak Drop-Leaf Dining Table, c. 1800s

A beautiful and versatile antique drop-leaf table, likely an 18th or 19th-century Georgian piece, featuring a wonderful aged patina and classic farmhouse appeal. These types of tables are a proven classic for their functionality and timeless design.

This is a gateleg table which means the leaves are supported by legs that swing out like a gate, a practical and timeless design. The simple, elegant lines and tapered legs are characteristic of Georgian country furniture.

When the two large, hinged drop leaves are raised, the table expands to form a generous oval dining surface that can comfortably seat six to eight people. When folded, it becomes a narrow console or side table, perfect for saving space in smaller homes or hallways.

Crafted from solid oak, the table features a useful drawer on both ends with a simple brass handle, ideal for storing cutlery or linens.

The table is in good antique condition throughout, with an authentic age-related wear, including minor marks, scratches, and a beautiful distressed patina that adds to its historic charm and character. It is a solid and sturdy piece, ready for everyday use.

This unique and characterful table would make a stunning addition to any kitchen, dining room, or hallway, blending seamlessly with a variety of interior styles.
