FAQs

Originating in early 19th-century Britain, Regency fold-out games tables are compact occasional tables designed with hinged tops that unfold to reveal a surface suitable for cards or chess, often featuring internal storage drawers.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from high-quality timbers such as mahogany, rosewood, or satinwood, often adorned with brass hardware including lion-mask handles, hinges, and castor wheels.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-carved details, period-correct brass hardware showing natural oxidisation, and slender tapered or turned legs consistent with early 1800s cabinetmaking.

Position the table in an alcove, corner, or behind a sofa as an occasional table, topped with modern decorative ceramics or lighting to create a balanced contrast between antique and contemporary elements.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid cracking, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax paste annually to nourish the finish.
