For Sale by Whites Antiques

Description

A Regency rosewood card table, circa 1800, with elegant proportions, later painted decoration, and its original baize - a settled, characterful piece with true country‑house charm.

Why We Love These … There is something particularly appealing about this table’s country‑house presence. It feels settled and authentic rather than over‑restored, retaining the character one hopes to find in a Regency piece that has been in use for over two centuries. The later painted decoration adds individuality, while the survival of the old baize lends a reassuring sense of continuity and history.

A Regency card table is a piece of English furniture produced during the early nineteenth century, designed specifically for playing card games. These tables typically feature a fold-over top supported by a swivel mechanism or gate-leg framework, allowing them to serve as slim console tables when not in active use.

Regency card tables were predominantly crafted using figured rosewood or mahogany veneers over solid timber frames. Interiors often feature baize lining for card playing, brass hinges, and decorative accents such as wood marquetry, painted motifs, or brass strung inlay.

Authentic Regency card tables display period-specific construction details, including hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass fold-over hinges, and evidence of hand-planed timber surfaces. Examining the interior frame under the swivel top often reveals natural wood oxidisation and historical wear patterns appropriate to age.

Position the card table against a wall in a hallway, drawing room, or alcove to function as an occasional console table. Placing contemporary artwork above or arranging table lamps and decorative objects on top creates an effective contrast between period craftsmanship and modern decor.

Maintain rosewood furniture by keeping it in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood movement and paint fading. Clean surfaces gently with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain.
