Early 19th Century Cherry Elliptical Drop-Leaf Hunt Table
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Introducing the exquisite early 19th century elliptical drop-leaf hunt table, an elegant piece of furniture with a rich history and functional design. Made in the style of George the 3rd, this hunt table is a perfect representation of the craftsmanship and style that defined this era.
Crafted from cherry wood, this table stands on square legs, providing stability and balance. The table top measures 85.5 inches in length, 31 inches wide with leaves up, and the table stands at a height of 30.5 inches. When the leaves are down, the table top measures 16.5 inches wide, making it perfect for smaller spaces. The elliptical shape of the table top adds a unique touch to the design, setting it apart from other traditional dining tables.
The leaves of this drop-leaf table are firmly affixed with eight solid brass hinges with slotted screws, ensuring that they are sturdy and secure when extended. The gate legs pivot from the center of the skirt, providing additional stability and support, making it a versatile piece of furniture that can accommodate different numbers of guests depending on the occasion.
Historically, hunt tables were used as a convenient and functional piece of furniture for hunting parties in the countryside. These tables were designed to be portable, easy to move around, and could be quickly set up for a meal or refreshments in the middle of a hunt. During a hunt, these tables would be set up in a designated area, and guests would gather around to enjoy a meal or refreshments. They were also commonly used in the home as versatile dining tables, as their design allowed them to be adjusted to accommodate different numbers of guests.
Today, this early 19th century elliptical drop-leaf hunt table is considered a valuable antique...

Antique and Vintage Drop-leaf and Pembroke Tables
Antique and vintage drop-leaf and Pembroke tables are the perfect solution for those of us in the “space-conscious” category. These furnishings have long been a smart choice for homes, particularly if you’re working with an especially modest house or apartment.
A drop-leaf table is a table with a fixed center section, but on either side of that, there are hinged leaves that can be raised or lowered according to your specific needs.
Should you need to accommodate more guests for a dinner party, a drop-leaf table’s side pieces can be raised and locked into place on their hinges, which will extend the overall surface area of the table. If you’re thinking of serving buffet-style or need a place for dinner plates and other tableware, fold one half of the table down and tuck it against the wall, console-table-style, to make more space for the guests congregating in your dining room. When your dinner companions are ready to retire to the living room for a digestif, both drop leaves can be collapsed if you need a makeshift bar cart or if you prefer to stow away the table after dinner.
The Pembroke version of these tables was a lightweight iteration that is believed to have been named for the ninth Earl of Pembroke or his wife, the countess. It is said that the countess had a drop-leaf table commissioned for their home, specifically for the purposes of serving and eating breakfast. This Georgian-era furniture had an oval or rectangular tabletop, was usually outfitted with a drawer and was frequently made of mahogany. It was a popular furnishing that was made through the Victorian and Edwardian periods.
With its convenient transformative qualities, a drop-leaf table can be put to use in every room of your home. A Pembroke nightstand would render having breakfast from the comfort of your bed easier than ever, while a casual living-room drop-leaf end table can quickly be extended in order to make room for movie-night snacks or a family game. The appeal of these tables doesn’t end at 18th-century nobility or chess enthusiasts, however.
Furniture designers of mid-century modern drop-leaf tables explored various forms and worked with a range of materials in crafting these furnishings and even integrated elements such as wheels for extra convenience. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of vintage and antique drop-leaf and Pembroke tables that includes sleek and understated iterations crafted by Hans J. Wegner and alluring versions in teak or rosewood designed by Kurt Østervig.
