FAQs

An envelope table is a type of folding table featuring a clever mechanism where four triangular flaps fold over each other to form a square top. This form became particularly popular during the Victorian period for parlour games and card playing.

These tables are traditionally constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, frequently featuring finely turned cabriole legs, brass castors, and intricate swivel or pivot mechanisms that support the unfolding leaves.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, traditional patina on the timber, solid brass hardware, and mechanical wooden pivots rather than modern metal hinges.

Placed in a living room or study, an envelope table functions well as an occasional surface or games table, contrasting traditional dark wood textures with modern minimalist surroundings.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and nourish the wood periodically using traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone sprays.
