FAQs

An envelope table is a multi-functional piece of furniture featuring a pivoting top that unfolds like an envelope to reveal a baize-lined playing surface for card games.

These tables are traditionally constructed from solid mahogany or feature mahogany veneers, often complemented by brass castors, handles, and wool baize playing surfaces.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawer construction, traditional patination on the timber, and mechanical pivoting mechanisms typical of the 19th century.

Such a table functions effectively as an occasional surface in a living room or study, paired with modern seating to create a contrast between old and new design elements.

Maintain mahogany surfaces by dusting with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and periodically applying quality beeswax to nourish the timber.
