FAQs

Card tables gained popularity in Europe during the late 17th and 18th centuries as parlour games became a staple of high society entertainment. Craftsmen utilised exotic woods like burl walnut to showcase wealth and intricate joinery.

These pieces typically feature a solid pine or oak carcass veneered with figured burl walnut, complemented by marquetry inlay and cast bronze or ormolu mounts. Traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon ensure structural integrity.

Authentication involves examining the hand-cut dovetails, the type of secondary wood used inside the frame, the patina of the French polish, and the quality of the cast brass or ormolu mounts for signs of age and wear.

Positioning the table closed against a wall beneath a piece of art or in an entrance hall allows its decorative wood grain to function as a focal point. Alternatively, placing it unfolded in a living space introduces historical texture and functional surface area.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the veneer from splitting or lifting. Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth and occasional application of appropriate beeswax helps maintain the finish.
