“Despite uncertainty about the maker, this table represents one of the few well-documented Philadelphia gateleg tables.”
“It would be a double gateleg table, I decided, partly as a tribute to an elegant, classic piece of furniture and partly as a way to have both a rectangular and a round table.”
“Now that's a nice gateleg table in the corner there. Though of course you'd have to put new hinges on it if you wanted to use the flaps.”
