FAQs

An envelope card table is a late 19th-century gaming table featuring four triangular leaf flaps that fold outwards like an envelope to expand the surface area. The design was created to save space in Victorian drawing rooms while providing a dedicated surface for card games.

Victorian card tables were predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood. The interiors typically featured woven wool baize for the playing surface along with brass hinges and inlaid timber or brass counter wells.

Authentic late Victorian examples feature hand-fitted brass envelope hinges, original baize or evidence of re-baizing, and period-correct joinery. Turned legs with brass castors or stretcher bases with central undertiers are also characteristic of this era.

When closed, an envelope card table functions as a compact square occasional table or lamp table in a living area or study. Positioning the piece in a corner or beside an armchair allows it to serve both functional and decorative roles.

Keep timber surfaces clean using a microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain. To protect the green baize, dust gently with a soft brush and avoid placing liquid containers directly on the table.
