Fine Example of a Mid 18th Century Serpentine Mahogany Card Table of Exceptional Original Patina

18th century
Description

A fine example of a mid 18th century (circa 1765) George III mahogany card table of serpentine form having an exceptional original patina.

This table consists of a finely figured mahogany serpentine shaped top of exceptional original patina with delicate herringbone stringing to the edge and outer mahogany crossbanding.

This leads down to a serpentine shaped edge of finely carved egg and dart design, the top opening to reveal a deep red baize surface with outer mahogany crossbanding, one of the rear legs opening to support the top.

The frieze also of serpentine form is veneered with various exotic woods of the period having a satinwood panel to the centre with boxwood stringing and bandings, small satinwood panels to either side with stringing and bandings with a finely carved gadrooned moulding below.

The table is supported on four fluted square tapered legs terminating with spade feet.

In our opinion this is a transitional piece of furniture as the design of this table is unusual having Chippendale, Hepplewhite and Adam influences, the top being of Chippendale influence whereas the legs having influences of Hepplewhite and Adam.

This table is in very good original condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

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

A serpentine card table features a subtly curved front and sides forming an S-shape profile, typically designed during the Georgian period with a hinged fold-over top for social gaming.

These tables were primarily constructed using dense mahogany, often featuring hand-dovetailed oak or pine secondary woods alongside woven baize lining for the interior gaming surface.

Look for signs of hand-planed timber on the underside, hand-cut dovetail joinery, original rear gate-leg mechanisms, and natural oxidation along the wooden frame.

When folded closed, the table functions as a slim console table positioned against a wall under artwork, or as an occasional side table within a living space.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply beeswax polish annually to preserve the finish.
