Pair of George III Mahogany Card and Tea Tables

18th century
Description

A rare pair of George III period Mahogany and Boxwood Strung fold over top tea and card tables, the rectangular tops with canted corners, each frieze with a central drawer and the whole raised on fine square tapered legs terminating in spade feet. Both tables have a double gate action to the rear legs making them very stable when opened and in use.

Circa 1785

Price :£ 9,750-00p

Height: 75cms, Width: 96cms, Depth: 47cms(closed).

These card tables were often part of a suite of tables including some which have a wooden surface inside, as opposed to the baized playing surface. These are normally referred to as tea tables.

Over the years however many of these suites have become separated into pairs and nowadays even most of those pairs have been split into single tables. Card games were a popular pastime during the 18th and 19th centuries and the British were famed for betting on anything from Cock-fighting to rain drops running down a window!

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Developed during the 18th century in Britain, these tables featured fold-over tops designed to function as side or console tables when closed and expand for playing cards or serving tea when opened.

Cabinetmakers primarily used dense West Indian mahogany, frequently accented with satinwood or boxwood stringing inlays, mortise-and-tenon joinery, and woven baize lining on internal playing surfaces.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-sawn timber, rear fly-leg or gate-leg pivoting mechanisms, hand-cut dovetail joints along drawer linings, and natural patination across the finish.

A pair can be positioned symmetrically against a hallway wall or behind a sofa as elegant console tables, topped with contemporary table lamps or ceramic urns to contrast the dark mahogany wood.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply beeswax polish once or twice a year following the wood grain, and position away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
