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.
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.

A George II card table dates from between 1727 and 1760, reflecting the mid-Georgian periods shift toward rich mahogany timber. These tables feature hinged fold-over tops designed for card play, typically supported by cabriole legs with pad or ball-and-claw feet.

These tables were primarily crafted using dense West Indian mahogany, valued for its weight and dark grain. Secondary woods like pine or oak were used for internal drawer linings and framing, joined with hand-cut dovetails and solid brass hinges.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn secondary timber marks, natural oxidisation on unvarnished underside areas, and period-correct joint construction. The folding mechanism usually relies on a gate-leg or swinging rear leg with iron or brass hand-cast hinges.

When closed, a Georgian card table functions as a console or side table in an entryway, hallway, or living room corner. Placing contemporary artwork or ceramics above the table creates a balanced juxtaposition between historic woodwork and modern decor.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent drying and cracking. Maintain the finish by applying a thin layer of high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing gently with a clean cotton cloth.
