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.

Victorian games tables were multi-functional items of accent furniture produced during the 19th century, designed for parlour entertainment such as chess, draughts, or cards. They often feature fold-over or slide tops, inlaid game boards, and carved support structures.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised figured hardwoods such as burr walnut, rosewood, and mahogany. These pieces frequently incorporate marquetry or parquetry inlays for playing surfaces, solid turned legs, and occasionally upholstered or needlepoint stretchers.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-cut joinery, rich natural grain variations in the burr veneer, and period-correct hardware such as brass or cast iron castors. The playing surfaces show genuine age-related wear rather than modern printed patterns.

Position the piece within a sunlit bay window or reading nook flanked by two tailored armchairs to establish a dedicated leisure zone. The rich walnut tones and carved details create a tactile accent alongside modern textiles and neutral backdrops.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the thin burr veneer from lifting or fading. Dust regularly using a soft microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually along the direction of the grain.
