This Victorian gentleman's library gaming table dates from 1870 and originates in London. The oval piece is constructed from walnut with a recent black baize top trimmed with brass studding, set upon reducing spiral taper legs with parcel-gilt highlights and brass castors. An X-frame stretcher base features gilt finials, and remnants of a paper label remain to the underside. Walnut surfaces show a dark brown timber colour with visible wood grain, while the parcel gilding provides bright golden accents. Measuring 108 cm wide, the table fits naturally in a study, library, or empty corner for card games and social gatherings.

FAQs

Clean the baize surface using a soft brush following the pile of the fabric to remove dust. Preserve parcel-gilded turned legs by lightly dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and moisture.

An antique gaming table can function as an occasional side table, a focal point in a reading nook, or a dedicated games area. Pair it with mid-century or contemporary armchairs to create a balanced contrast between historic details and clean modern lines.

Authentic pieces by Howard & Sons often feature makers stamps or paper labels on the underside of the frame or drawer linings. Look for stamped brass castors bearing the makers name, precise joinery, and high-standard decorative carving.

Cabinetmakers primarily used dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood. Playing surfaces were typically upholstered in wool baize or leather, trimmed with brass studs, and embellished with parcel gilding or metal mounts.

A Victorian gaming table is an occasional table crafted specifically for playing cards, chess, or parlour games. Popular during the 19th century, these tables frequently feature baize-lined surfaces, decorative turned or barley-twist legs, brass studding, and ornate stretchers.
