Gateleg Table
A gateleg table is a type of furniture first introduced in
England in the 16th century. The table top has a fixed section and
one or two hinged leaves, which, when not in use, folded down below
the fixed section to hang vertically. The hinged section, or flap,
was supported on pivoted legs joined at the top and bottom by
stretchers constituting a gate. Large flaps had two supports, which
had the advantage of providing freer leg space in the centre.
Typically the table legs are supported by stretchers. The earliest
gateleg tables of the 16th and 17th century were typically made of
oak
