A Rare Pair of Very Fine Quality 18th Century Card Tables

18th century
Sold 19 July 2026 · The Fine Art Fund
This “Rare Pair of Very Fine Quality 18th Century Card Tables ” found a buyer.

It was listed by The Fine Art Fund. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

This pair of card tables are made of a very fine cut of mahogany and it looks as if both tops are made from the same piece of timber. When placed side by side the grain appears to run from one to the other (see photos). There is boxwood and ebony stringing around the top and legs, and on the frieze it is arranged so as to give a slight 3D effect. They are a pleasing shape overall, well made and with two legs on each that move. They are in very good condition with flat tops and well preserved joints. In fact the only thing that looks a bit worn is the baize and that can be changed of course. It goes without saying that they look a lot better in real life than they do in these photos. George III period and very good value.

Georgian card tables are characterised by classical proportions, sophisticated timber selection such as mahogany, and refined craftsmanship adapted for parlour gaming.

Master craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods like mahogany and oak, frequently enhanced with intricate veneer work, crossbanding, and sometimes subtle inlay details.

Authenticity is determined by hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional tool marks, period-appropriate timber shrinkage, and the specific mechanics of the folding leaf hinges.

These versatile pieces function effectively as console surfaces in a hallway or living room, contrasting clean modern decor with historical texture and warmth.

Maintain timber longevity by avoiding direct sunlight, keeping away from heating vents, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the grain.
