English Drop Leaf Table

Happy New Year!

I'm wondering if you can help me find a little bit more out about my new table. I'm not worried about what it's worth, my wife and I value antiques more for their story. After we brought the table home, we realized it was older. We contacted the seller and found out it was bought from an antique shop in England, but nothing more. It's held together with flathead screws and different joints. The drop leaf supports are different, and I wasn't able to find anything like them on Google. No drawers on the table, however, the tabletop and both drop leaves have three boards joined together with what looks like tongue and groove joints. Unfortunately, there were no marks or labels anywhere! My guess is the late 1800s to early 1900s, but I'm no expert. I appreciate any help you can give!

 

Do you know what the drop leaf supports are called? All I can find are gate leg examples.

 

I hope these pictures help. I tried to look up the draw bracket type but haven't found anything. It seems that gate legs are very popular because that's all that shows up.

Is there something you're seeing that makes you feel like it's Edwardian? Maybe just experience? Just want to get smarter on what I'm looking at. Thanks!

 

Though may not be a style much in demand, both handsome and useful.

Nice quality, even if it’s not valuable. Even the secondary “support” features are quarter-sawn oak with better “flaking” than the primary oak of most pieces! Nice score!
