A Good Georgian Card Table in the Hepplewhite French Taste

19th century
Description

Currently in unrestored original condition, please contact us for further information.

A Good Georgian Card Table in the Hepplewhite French Taste

Constructed in well figured Cuban Mahogany, and rising from moulded cabriole legs, terminating in scrolled toes, and having addorsed ‘c’ scrolls at the knees; the serpentine apron having a stylised acanthus moulding to the centre. The shaped top having a bull nose moulded edge, and re-entrant corners, opening to reveal a baize lined interior, supported by a gate leg.

England, Circa 1790

George Hepplewhite, one of the triumvirate of great English Cabinet Makers of the Eighteenth Century was established at St Giles Cripplegate London, his designs being posthumously published by his widow, Alice, in 1788, under the title ‘A Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterers Guide’. Her preface to the third edition, published in 1794 observes the aim ‘ to unite elegance and utility, to blend the useful with the agreeable’. Time has judged these sentiments, and incorporated his name in the small list of great designers and makers of the period.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the late eighteenth century, English cabinetmakers influenced by George Hepplewhite integrated French Rococo elements, such as slender cabriole legs, carved aprons, and serpentine silhouettes, into traditional British mahogany furniture.

These pieces were primarily crafted from solid and veneered mahogany, featuring brass hinges and often lined internally with baize or leather to protect playing cards.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, original rear swing-leg mechanisms for top support, natural age oxidation on interior woods, and hand-carved decorative motifs.

When folded closed, the table serves as an elegant console in an entryway, hallway, or behind a sofa, expanding into a functional gaming surface when opened for guests.

Regularly dust with a soft microfiber cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources.
