Note: Sutherland Tables are a Victorian invention of a much smaller gate-leg table with a particularly narrow center. It is the ideal serving table as it takes up no room when not in use and when extended can make a very large surface as the drop flaps are usually long, almost to the floor. They are quite dainty looking antique tables but surprisingly robust when extended as they were originally used to hold a full tea service which would include cups, saucers and tea pot. They were also quite often used for games playing and writing for the Victorian Lady.
