This early twentieth-century card table comes from the Edwardian period and bears the stamp of Howard & Sons Ltd. Made from walnut, the piece displays a warm brown tone with visible figuration across the surfaces. The construction incorporates a shaped hinged fold-over top, a deep frieze with carved detail along the bottom edge, and a serpentine apron. Four cabriole legs support the structure, ornamented with shell-carved knees and terminating in carved hoof feet. The edges of the top feature carved floral decoration. Practical dimensions measure 77 cm high, 83 cm wide, and 42 cm deep. Suitable for placement in an empty corner of a living room or study, this traditional item provides a surface for card games or displays when closed. The timber exhibits a polished finish, and the proportions suit modern residential interiors seeking English country house style furnishings.

FAQs

Card tables originated in the late seventeenth century as specialised furniture pieces designed for parlour card games, featuring hinged tops that open to reveal a expanded playing surface.

These tables are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany, featuring hand-carved cabriole legs, hinged folding tops, and concertina or swivel support mechanisms.

Authentic period tables display hand-carved decorative motifs, traditional dovetail and mortise-and-tenon joinery, age-appropriate wear on legs and hinges, and occasionally cabinetmaker stamps or labels.

When folded, a card table functions as a console or side table against a wall, suitable for displaying table lamps, books, or decorative ceramics in living rooms and hallways.

Keep the wood surface dry and away from direct heat sources, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the wood grain to preserve the original finish.
