A single drawer provides useful storage and features carved detailing across the front, finished by decorative brass handles. 

Gorgeous oak grain and rich colour are showcased throughout, bringing plenty of depth and character to the timber and complementing the green playing surface beautifully.

An Edwardian games table from the 20th century, constructed from warm brown oak and brass, presented in an English Country House style. The piece incorporates an envelope top, a fretwork drawer front fitted with two dark metal drop handles, and an undertier shelf positioned between the cabriole legs. The wood displays a visible grain texture and polished finish, with small brass hinges securing the triangular folding sections of the top and scrolled stretchers supporting the lower shelf. Practical dimensions are 81.5 cm high, 56 cm wide, and 56 cm deep when closed. This versatile item functions effectively as a lamp table or accent surface in a living room, hallway, or empty corner, offering storage within its single drawer and a flat display surface when the top remains closed. The compact footprint suits smaller spaces while retaining the capacity to expand for card games and social activities. The design integrates traditional British cabinet-making traditions with functional versatility for modern domestic interiors.

FAQs

An Edwardian envelope card table is a multi-functional piece of furniture designed in the early 20th century, featuring four triangular leaves that unfold from the centre like an envelope to expand the tabletop for playing cards or board games.

These tables were primarily crafted from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring brass hinges and brass drop handles, often with a baize-lined interior playing surface.

Authentic period card tables feature hand-fitted joinery, genuine brass hardware with historical patina, smooth counter-balancing or rotating top mechanisms, and period-appropriate wood grain patterns.

When closed, the compact square footprint allows the piece to function as an occasional side table, lamp table, or hallway accent, unfolding only when additional surface area is required.

Regular dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and periodic applications of beeswax polish will preserve the wood finish, while keeping the hinges lightly lubricated ensures smooth movement of the triangular leaves.
