Regency Mahogany Card Table

19th century
For Sale by FB Antiques
Description

Rare Regency Mahogany Fold-Over Card Table by Laver Oliver

Item Code: LC1433

A rare Regency period mahogany fold-over card table by Laver Oliver of Bury St Edmunds, dating from circa 1810.

The table retains its engraved brass patent plate, numbered 19 and inscribed “Oliver’s Patent, Bury St Edmunds.” The rectangular top has rounded front corners and attractive mahogany figuring, opening to reveal a green baize-lined playing surface.

The patented action allows the top to rotate and unfold above the pedestal, while also revealing a useful storage compartment beneath.

Raised on a finely turned central column above four swept legs, finished with brass caps and castors.

A particularly interesting and uncommon documented example of English Regency cabinetmaking, suitable for use as a card table, games table or occasional side table.

FAQs

A Regency card table is a piece of British furniture popularised during the early 19th century, designed for social card games. Featuring a hinged top that folds open to double the surface area, these tables served a dual purpose as decorative side tables when closed.

Regency card tables were primarily crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, often featuring flame veneers and solid timber legs. The tops frequently concealed interior baize lining, while the bases were fitted with brass caps and castors.

Authentic Regency card tables generally feature classical architectural influences, such as pedestal stems with four splayed sabre legs terminating in brass caps and castors. Examining the underside for original hand-dovetailed joints and age-appropriate wood shrinkage helps verify authenticity.

When closed, a Regency card table functions effectively as a hall console, side table, or accent piece positioned in an entryway or living room alcove. Styling the top with contemporary ceramics, table lamps, or framed artwork balances the historical timber with modern interior elements.

To preserve the finish, position the table away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer movement. Dust the timber regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish once or twice a year along the direction of the wood grain.
