| This
table, made from English oak, measures just 45" in width x 54"
in length, when fully open. However, gatelegs can be made very much
larger, capable of seating 16 people or more. These larger tables will
typically have two gates, instead of just one as shown in this photo.
Most gatelegs have oval tops, although occasionally they can have rectangular
as well as octagonal tops. Drawers can be incorporated within the main
frame as in this example. In much the same way as joined stools, the
variations in style of leg turning are infinite; simple columns, repeat
ball and reel and fillet turnings, rising, paired and classical balusters,
barley-twist etc. Some or all of the stretchers can also be turned to
match the legs. |
