Pair of Late 18th Century Rosewood & Satinwood Inlaid Card Tables

18th century
Description

Pair of late 18th century Sheraton rosewood and satinwood inlaid card tables.

The rosewood veneered tops are crossbanded in West Indian satinwood with boxwood and ebony stringing and finished with rosewood edging. The tops open up to reveal a green baize playing surface and are supported on twin action gate legs to the reverse.

The shallow friezes are profusely inlaid with symmetrical boxwood inlays and flanked with lozenges, with the practical but unusual feature of a full length concealed drawer to the centre section.

The pair of tables are raised on four finely tapered rosewood legs that stand on spade feet above symmetrical inlaid stringing.

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

Late 18th-century card tables, often designed in Georgian or Sheraton styles, feature fold-over tops that transform a space-saving wall console into a playing surface. They typically display Neoclassical influences, such as tapered legs, geometric stringing, and contrasting wood veneers like rosewood and satinwood.

Cabinetmakers commonly utilised primary dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, ornamented with lighter decorative veneers including satinwood, boxwood, and ebony for fine line stringing and crossbanding.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass hinges, aged interior timber or baize surfaces showing natural contraction, and subtle irregular wear on the underside and leg supports.

Positioned as demi-lune console tables against a wall, a pair can flank an entryway doorway or fireplace alcove to provide symmetry and surface space for table lamps and decorative ceramics.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, avoiding direct sunlight, high humidity, and modern silicone-based chemical cleaners.
