FAQs

Specialist tables designed for board games gained significant popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries as parlour games became a staple of middle and upper-class social life.

These pieces typically feature dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often utilising intricate marquetry, parquetry inlay for the playing surface, and turned pedestals with tripod legs.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-cut joinery, the natural ageing and patination of the wood, traditional hand-applied finishes like shellac, and the precision of the wood veneer and inlay work.

Such functional furniture works well as an accent piece in a study, library, or living room, either left bare to showcase the inlaid wood or styled with complementary decorative objects.

To preserve the timber and finish, keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply occasional high-quality beeswax.
