FAQs

A Victorian games table is a multi-functional item of occasional furniture designed during the 19th century for domestic parlour games such as chess, draughts, and cards. Many examples incorporate fold-over tops revealing inlaid game boards alongside lower storage drawers or work bins.

These tables were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often featuring figured burr veneers on the top surface. The interiors frequently utilised pine or oak linings, brass hardware, and fabric or timber for the lower sewing bin.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, original brass castors, turned support columns, and hand-carved cabriole legs. Wear to the game surfaces, original keyhole escutcheons, and natural patination on the timber underside further indicate period authenticity.

An antique games table functions as an occasional side table or accent piece in a bay window, hallway, or living room alcove. Position it alongside modern seating or beneath contemporary artwork to create a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern aesthetics.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the grain. Keep the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the burr walnut veneer from fading, drying out, or lifting.
