Identification of unusual Gateleg Table

Hello Everybody,
last week I picked this unusual Gateleg Table up in a thrift store in a very small village in northern Germany. I liked the look of it and especially the forged hinges (see photos).
The Table is very low with only 71 cm / 28 inch height. I think it was originally even lower, because those round pieces at the bottom of the legs seem to be later added on - maybe to replace worn/broken bottom pieces or there were none in the first place.

What do you think? Is this even an English table? Or is this a German/European interpretation of a Gateleg?
What do you think how old this table is?

I'm not expert enough in furniture to even guess where it came from or when, but those hinges look older than dirt. I have a hunch the original feet were dinner for wood worms and someone replaced them much later.

 

Those are wooden pegs - no iron nails. I put a magnet on and no reaction.

 

no idea but it’s lovely. I love old wood like that.

 

looks local to me. Klapptisch. made and in use in this rather heavy and sturdy construction also in other countries from Sweden down to Northern France.

 

Guesses German gate leg, early to mid 18th century, the top looks like a different species, oak may be, the base/drawer looks like pine. The feet are replaced and probably the top as well, the iron is hand forged, ditto nails holding them on.

 

I'm no help other than to say I like it, wanted to comment that your photographs are excellent.

 

Thanks for all the comments and the information.

 

Good overall assessment as not def not English and I can only add to your early-mid 18thC date that the rule of thumb for drawer bottoms applies here. Pre 1760...ish.
