Antique Gift From Client

[Nyboy]

I was looking for a table to hold some office equipment, when a client said they had a gateleg table I could have. Said table has been in their basement so long they don't remember where it came from. A gateleg table has leafs which flowed down when not needed, when table needs to be made bigger leaf is raised and a extra leg swings out to hold leaf up. I posted photos on a antique forum and found out table walnut 19th century, I believe handmade.

the middle photo you can see a box with x to mark center where pegs goes. That is sign handmade.

Cool table. Tell your clients to keep the food and just gift you with antiques. Much healthier!

Beautiful. Looks just like one my Grandmother had. I think Jeni Ann has it now.
