FAQs

An envelope card table is a clever multi-folding table originating in the late 19th and early 20th century, designed with triangular flaps that rotate and fold open like an envelope to reveal a baize-lined playing surface.

These tables are predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or satinwood, often featuring delicate string inlay, brass hinges, and a central playing surface lined with wool baize or felt.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timber grain, hand-cut dovetails or joinery, traditional brass hardware, wear patterns consistent with age, and the specific mechanism of the rotating flaps.

Such a versatile piece functions effectively as a corner accent or occasional table in a living room, allowing the leaves to remain closed for display or opened when entertaining guests.

Preservation involves keeping the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping, treating the wood with microcrystalline wax, and gently brushing the baize to remove dust.
