The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Fold-over card tables gained prominence in eighteenth-century France as social gaming became popular among aristocracy. Designed with dual functionality, they served as decorative wall consoles when closed and expanded into felt-lined gaming surfaces when opened.

These tables typically incorporate exotic veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, and tulipwood inlaid into intricate patterns. Accents are formed using cast gilt-bronze mounts, known as ormolu, which protect vulnerable corners and edges.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut marquetry veneers with subtle surface variations, hand-chased brass or bronze ormolu mounts with natural oxidisation, and solid timber framing beneath the decorative veneer.

Positioning a decorative marquetry table as a statement accent in an entryway or living room corner provides visual depth. Pairing rich timber veneers alongside muted wall tones balances ornate detailing with modern minimalist aesthetics.

Clean wood veneers using a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly to prevent drying. Ormolu mounts should be dusted gently without abrasive chemical polish to preserve the original gilded finish.
