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.

Originating in 18th-century Britain, a triple top games table is a multi-functional piece of furniture crafted with three hinged leaf sections. This layered design allows the piece to function as a wall or console table when closed, opening to reveal different surfaces for tea or card playing.

These tables were primary constructed from dense mahogany timber, selected for its rich grain and stability. Construction techniques included hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, cast brass hardware, cabriole legs with pad feet, and a fly-leg mechanism to support the extended tops.

Look for hand-sawn timber marks on the underside, irregular dovetail joints on the frieze drawer, and natural wood shrinkage along the grain. Authentic period examples also show gentle wear to the feet, original brass hinges, and historical oxidation on the internal structural framing.

Position the closed table against a wall in an entrance hall or living space to function as an occasional console table. Layering the surface with modern ceramics or a contemporary table lamp creates a balanced dialogue between historic craftsmanship and modern decor.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually along the direction of the grain. Keep the table away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent the timber from warping or splitting.
