This Victorian games table dates from 1850 and is built in the style of the period from burr walnut and solid walnut with wood inlay and brass. The surfaces show warm brown tones, highlighting the natural grain of the timber, alongside a contrasting dark and light inlaid chessboard on the top. The structure incorporates turned twin-column supports, a pierced fretwork stretcher, and carved scroll feet fitted with small brass castors. Three small fitted drawers sit beneath the top, accented with turned wooden knobs, while a shaped drop-down work bag hangs below the frieze. Measuring 74 cm high, 76.5 cm wide and 44 cm deep, the table provides a compact surface for entertaining or display. In a modern interior, this piece works well positioned in a bay window, a sitting room or a traditional study as a combined side table and games station. The folding top and storage compartments offer practical options for keeping cards, small accessories or needlework close at hand while maintaining a decorative focal point in the room.

FAQs

Originating in the mid-to-late 19th century, Victorian games tables were designed for parlour entertainment, featuring integrated game boards such as chess, draughts, or backgammon, often crafted with decorative veneers and multi-functional storage.

These tables typically utilise high-grade burr walnut veneers applied over a solid timber frame, showcasing intricate marquetry or parquetry for the chessboard inlay, alongside hand-carved turned supports and castors.

Authentic 19th-century examples display characteristic features such as hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, natural age-related patination on the burr walnut veneer, period-correct brass or iron castors, and detailed fretwork stretchers.

Place the table in a living room bay window, reading nook, or hallway as a distinguished occasional piece, paired with modern armchairs or illuminated by a floor lamp to highlight the inlaid timber.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping or veneer lifting, apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically along the grain, and immediately wipe clean any liquid spills with a dry cloth.
