William and Mary Style 6 Leg Drop Leaf Gate-Leg Table

Tables of this type are in what's called the "Colonial Revival" style. Colonial Revival pieces are reproductions of the original American Colonial items originally produced from 1620-1780.The Colonial Revival style became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876. At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so great it outstripped supply. This caused large manufacturers to begin production of pieces in the Colonial style from the Jacobean to early Georgian periods. The style reached it's peak of popularity during the late 1920's,but were made right through to WW2. Most gate legs like these date from the 1930's. Today values for these pieces depends on their quality of construction, how close they follow original designs and their overall condition. Most sell at auction for under $250.00. Lovejoy
