Comments: An English "Wake Table" is a gate leg drop left table - typical oval that was used, among other things, for the display of a coffin during a traditional home wake. In England this table is also known as a "Hunt Table" to distance it from its funerary associations. In modern times, antique wake tables are prized as versatile pieces of furniture that can function as console tables when closed or as spacious dining table when fully extended.
