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.
