FAQs

Regency period games tables, popular from roughly 1810 to 1835, are characterised by their multi-functional design, typically featuring a fold-over top that swivels to open. They frequently utilise exotic veneers such as rosewood and mahogany, supported by central pedestals, turned columns, and decorative classical carving.

Tables from this period commonly feature solid timber frames with high-grade rosewood or mahogany veneers. Interior compartments often contain hidden storage for playing cards and counters, fitted with original brass hinges and castors beneath hand-carved bases.

Authentic pieces display period-correct construction markers, including hand-sawn dovetail joints, original brass hardware, and genuine age-related oxidation on timber undersides. Distinctive carved motifs, such as stylized dolphins, acanthus leaves, and scroll supports, were highly popular between 1820 and 1835.

When closed, a games table functions as a console or side table against a wall or within an entryway. Modern interior designers often position them beneath artwork or mirrors, accessorised with contemporary ceramics or lamps to balance historical and modern aesthetics.

Rosewood requires protection from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking and fading of the natural grain. Regular dusting with a soft cloth and occasional applications of natural beeswax maintain the original finish without damaging the patina.
