The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A French fold-over card table is a piece of 19th-century occasional furniture designed with a hinged top that swivels or unfolds to reveal a cloth-lined surface for card games and entertainment.

These tables are traditionally constructed with a solid timber frame faced in highly figured burr walnut or rosewood veneers, featuring a wool baize playing surface and cast brass or bronze mounts.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-carved cabriole legs, natural patination on the metal mounts, and genuine age wear to the underside mechanism and interior baize.

When folded, the table functions as a console or side table against a wall or in an alcove, offering a warm timber accent that contrasts with contemporary furnishings.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish sparingly, while cleaning the baize surface using a soft brush to remove dust without distressing the fibres.
