This Georgian card table belongs to the 18th century and is made from mahogany and satinwood with a warm brown colour. The piece follows a demi-lune profile and has a hinged fold-over top, tapered legs, inlaid satinwood stringing, and marquetry patera. The structure stands 71 cm high, 85 cm wide, and 85 cm deep when open. The design includes finely figured timber on the surface and delicate decorative inlay bordering the edge of the top and down the legs. Such a table suits placement in a hallway beside the front door or in a reception room against a wall. The compact form when closed allows the piece to function as a side table or console surface for daily use. Opening the top reveals a playing surface suited for card games or general display when entertaining visitors in the home.

FAQs

A demi-lune card table is a semi-circular accent table originating in the 18th century, designed with a hinged fold-over top that opens to create a circular surface for card playing.

Tables from this era were predominantly constructed using mahogany, satinwood, or walnut, featuring decorative timber stringing, marquetry paterae, and wool baize-lined interiors.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, gate-leg or fly-leg support mechanisms, natural timber shrinkage over time, and hand-planed secondary woods beneath the frame.

Positioned against a wall when folded, a demi-lune table functions effectively as a hall console or entryway accent, adding architectural structure to narrow spaces.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the grain once per year, ensuring placement remains away from direct heat sources.
