This George III mahogany and inlaid demi-lune card table belongs to the Georgian period and is finished in warm brown tones. The construction incorporates mahogany, satinwood, boxwood, kingwood veneer, lacewood, and rosewood. The well-figured semi-circular top features a sunburst inlay, a lacewood cross-banded border, rosewood cross-banding on the front edge, boxwood stringing, and a fan marquetry shell motif. The frieze contains an inlaid shell within a kingwood cross-banded border. Square tapered mahogany legs are headed with boxwood inlay, lower inlaid panels of kingwood veneer, and end with pinched block feet. The table measures 74 cm high, 96 cm wide, and 44 cm deep. In a contemporary interior, this piece functions as a card or games table positioned beside an entryway or in a living room against a wall, offering a surface for display or card games when opened. The slim profile and compact dimensions suit smaller hallways, landings, or principal reception rooms where floor space is limited.

FAQs

Produced during the reign of King George III between 1760 and 1820, these tables feature a semi-circular profile, a hinged fold-over top, and a movable leg mechanism to support card play.

Crafted primarily from solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, these tables feature decorative wood marquetry, satinwood stringing, and hand-cut dovetail or mortise-and-tenon joinery.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-planed secondary timbers, hand-cut iron screws, historical oxidisation on unpolished underside surfaces, and original brass hinges.

Position the table flush against a hallway or reception wall to serve as an entryway console, topped with table lamps or decorative ceramics.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually.
