gateleg - tables
Gateleg table. A dropside table with deep flaps, of which one or more legs is hinged, able to be opened to support the flap when raised. Most dining tables of the Jacobean and early Georgian periods were round oak gateleg tables, usually with barley-sugar twist or baluster turnings. Some card tables and most Sutherland tables work on the gateleg principle.
In the early 20th century the gateleg table again become popular as a small dining table, in a revived Jacobean style, often with twist turned legs.
