FAQs

Victorian games tables were popular 19th-century parlour items designed specifically for recreational board games such as chess, draughts, or backgammon, often featuring inlaid wood playing surfaces and decorative tripod pedestals.

These tables were predominantly constructed from hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, frequently embellished with intricate marquetry or parquetry inlays using contrasting veneers like boxwood and satinwood.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-cut marquetry inlay, original iron or wooden fixing hardware beneath the top, natural wear on the carved legs, and hand-sawn construction marks on the underside.

An antique games table serves as an occasional or accent table beside an armchair, in a reading nook, or positioned in an entryway to add historical craftsmanship and texture to contemporary decor.

Preserve the finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually, and keeping the timber away from direct heat sources or excessive humidity to prevent veneer lifting.
