Quartersawn Oak Gate Leg Table

Table Description

With this fine antique piece, you can enjoy the flexibility of a table that is perfect for dining, serving, or as a side table. The perfect combination of space-saving utility and beauty, the gate leg was first developed in Jacobean England and remains today as useful a design as ever. Indeed, this table, crafted in England around 1920, would be great as a side table, for serving or even for dining. Of course, the solid quartersawn oak also makes for a striking appearance, with a rich complexion and a highly distinct grain. The barley twist legs, meanwhile, are as sturdy as they are elegant, making this table quite a prize. It has sustained the normal assortment of wear marks and stains, but remains firm and durable, and so it is in perfect keeping with the long and illustrious tradition of English cabinetry.
