Antique William and Mary Drop Leaf Table

This is a William & Mary style gateleg table, a design that dates back to the late 17th century but has been frequently reproduced throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Key Features Gateleg Design: The table features "gatelegs" that swing out to support the large drop leaves when they are raised, allowing it to expand from a slim console to a full-sized dining table. Turned Legs: The legs have a decorative "turned" or spindle design, which is characteristic of the William & Mary and Jacobean styles. Drop-Leaf Top: The surface is divided into three sections: a narrow fixed center and two large hinged leaves on either side. Expanding Potential: Includes additional hidden butterfly leaves that allow the center to expand even further.
