FAQs

Victorian card and gaming tables became prominent during the 19th century as parlour games and social entertaining grew in popularity among the middle and upper classes, often featuring fold-over tops to serve dual purposes as writing or console tables when not in use for games.

These pieces typically utilise a solid secondary wood such as pine or mahogany as a carcase, overlaid with choice veneers like burr walnut, and decorated with intricate floral marquetry inlay utilising various contrasting lighter and darker woods.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-cut dovetails, traditional shellac or wax finishes, hand-carved wooden components, and the natural ageing and shrinkage cracks within the veneer and timber construction.

Positioned against a living room wall in its closed position, it can be styled with a table lamp and decorative objects, or opened up in a study or hallway as a striking focal point showcasing craftsmanship.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and clean periodically with a soft, dry cloth, applying a microcrystalline wax sparingly to nourish the timber.
