The drop leaf and gate leg table is one of England's great furniture inventions — a full-size dining table when you need it, a slim console when you don't. Designed for real life in smaller spaces, and just as practical today as three centuries ago.

The antique drop leaf and gate leg tables here are mostly pine and oak, sourced from English homes and farmhouses. They range from small pieces that seat two or four when extended, to more generous examples that easily seat six. All have the practical genius of English country furniture — built to work hard and look effortless doing it.

A wonderful choice for a kitchen nook, small dining room, or anywhere space is at a premium.
