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

Originating in 18th-century Britain during the reign of King George III, card tables were designed as versatile occasional furniture for social gaming. They feature a hinged fold-over top that rests flat against a wall as a console table when closed and opens to reveal a playing surface.

Georgian card tables were constructed from fine hardwoods including mahogany, walnut, and burr yew, frequently decorated with marquetry or stringing inlays using satinwood and boxwood. Frame structures incorporated gate-leg mechanisms or double-hinged supports.

Authentic 18th-century card tables feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed secondary timbers on the underside, and natural wood oxidisation inside the folding frame. Original period brass hinges and slight hand-worked timber variations also indicate authentic age.

In modern interior schemes, a fold-over card table is positioned closed against a wall to act as an entryway or hallway console. Displaying minimal ceramics or contemporary lamps alongside the patterned wood veneer creates balanced contrast.

To preserve burr yew veneers, place the item in a stable environment away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or lifting. Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply clear beeswax polish periodically, avoiding harsh chemical sprays.
