A Draw Leaf Table is a dining table featuring extension leaves that slide from beneath the main tabletop, allowing the table to be enlarged without separate extension pieces. Originating in the Elizabethan period and later revived during the Arts & Crafts movement, draw leaf tables are admired for their practical design, traditional joinery and solid construction. *Related Terms*\ Dining Table, Extension Table, Oak Furniture, Refectory Table, Table.
