FAQs

George II card tables, dating from 1727 to 1760, are characterised by the prominent use of dense mahogany, robust cabriole legs, carved knees, and claw and ball feet. Designed for card playing, they feature folding tops supported by either swing legs or concertina mechanisms.

These tables were primarily constructed from solid and veneered Cuban mahogany, valued for its strength and dark tone. The interiors often utilised pine or oak as secondary framing timber, with concertina hinges made of hand-forged iron or brass.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed secondary woods, and genuine timber shrinkage along the grain. Look for hand-carved details on the knees and feet, original iron concertina hinges, and natural age-related patination on unexposed surfaces.

When closed, a fold-over card table serves as an ideal hall table, entryway piece, or console table positioned against a narrow wall or behind a sofa. When open, it functions as an occasional gaming or display table in a traditional living space or study.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying a coat of beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber warping and finish fading.
