Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Wooden knuckle hinge on the rear swing leg: late Georgian joinery.
Fluted tapering legs ending in spade feet: neoclassical design of the period.
Brass side hinges secured by countersunk slotted screws: original eighteenth-century hardware.
Softwood back rail: shows natural saw markings and dark timber oxidisation.
Boxwood stringing inlaid into flame mahogany veneers: typical late Georgian cabinetwork.

This Georgian games table from the 18th century is constructed from mahogany in a warm brown colour with a serpentine outline and a fold-over top. The piece displays a crossbanded border with boxwood inlaid stringing along the top edge, fluted tapered legs at the corners, and fine reeded vertical carving down the length of each leg. The structure measures 76 cm high, 96 cm wide, and 48 cm deep, expanding to a top measuring 94 cm by 93 cm when open. In a contemporary home, this table functions ideally against a narrow wall space in a hallway, living room, or study. The hinged back leg swings outward to support the surface when unfolded for play or display. The timber surface displays natural grain patterns and rich tonal variations throughout the top and apron, presenting an authentic period aesthetic suited to traditional country house interiors.

FAQs

A Georgian games table is a specialised 18th-century furniture piece designed for playing cards and board games, typically featuring a fold-over top that allows it to double as an accent or console table when closed.

Cabinetmakers during the 18th century primarily used dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany for structural framing and decorative veneers, often accents with string inlay, crossbanding, and baize linings on the interior playing surface.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-sawn wood construction, hand-cut dovetail joints, period gate-leg or fly-leg mechanisms, and natural oxidation or patination on unseen pine or oak secondary timber beneath.

Positioned against a wall in a hallway or living room as a console table, it provides a surface for modern lighting and ceramics, while maintaining the flexibility to open into a functional gaming surface when needed.

Maintain mahogany by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying beeswax periodically along the wood grain, keeping the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and timber movement.
