Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Produced during the reign of King George III (17601820), these tables were designed specifically for parlor social games and feature hinged tops that fold out to double the surface area. Early examples often showcase straight fluted legs, carved corner brackets, and refined proportions influenced by Thomas Chippendale.

High-end period card tables were crafted from solid timbers such as walnut or mahogany, often with secondary woods like oak or pine used for internal drawer linings and framework. The playing interior was frequently lined with wool baize, while brass hinges allowed the top leaf to fold smoothly.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed underside timber surfaces, and original swing-leg mechanisms. Unevenness in timber shrinkage, genuine surface oxidation, and hand-cast brass hardware further distinguish original pieces from modern reproductions.

When closed, a card table functions as a slim console table suitable for entryways, hallways, or behind a sofa. Placed along a wall with a mirror or artwork mounted above, it provides surface area for decorative accents while retaining utility for social gatherings.

Maintain solid timber surfaces by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish twice a year along the grain. Position the furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement, drying, or uneven color fading.
