Antique Mahogany Card Table with Bookshelf Base C.1920

1900 - 1920
Description

An early 20th century mahogany card table, the top swivelling and folding open to reveal an original green baize-lined playing surface. The base incorporates a useful tiered bookshelf with two open shelves to each side, all raised on original brass and ceramic castors.

A versatile piece suited to use as a side table in a hallway or living space, with the bookcase adding both function and decorative appeal, while the fold-over top offers a practical occasional surface for cards or drinks when required.

Very good antique condition with only light surface wear consistent with age. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place.

English, circa 1920.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

First emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this multi-functional furniture style combines a hinged or revolving gaming surface with integrated lower shelving for storing literature and board games.

Solid mahogany, walnut, and oak were the primary timbers, typically finished with shellac or French polish and assembled using mortise and tenon joinery along with brass hinges and castors.

Authentic period pieces display traditional joinery techniques, original metal hardware or castors, smooth folding leaf mechanisms, and a natural surface patina developed over decades.

Position the piece as an occasional side table beside a sofa or in a reading corner, using the lower tiers for displaying art books while keeping the folded tabletop clear for daily use.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year, ensuring the piece is positioned away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
