FAQs

A George II Irish card table is a mid-18th-century piece of gaming furniture produced in Ireland between 1727 and 1760. Characterised by dense mahogany, deeply carved shell or mask details, and expressive cabriole legs, these tables feature fold-over tops that allow them to function as console tables when not in use for cards.

These tables were primarily crafted from heavy Cuban mahogany, valued for its density and deep colour. Construction typically features hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer linings, and hand-forged iron hinges, with rear legs that swing out on wooden gate-leg mechanisms to support the unfolded playing surface.

Authentic Irish pieces from this era often exhibit distinct design traits, such as prominent shell carvings on the knees and frieze, webbed or pad feet, and a deeper apron curve than contemporary English equivalents. Examination of the underside should reveal original hand-sawn timber marks and age-appropriate oxidisation.

When folded closed, a Georgian card table functions well as an entryway console or hall table. Placing a contemporary table lamp, ceramic vase, or modern artwork above the piece creates a balanced contrast between historical timber and modern design elements.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying beeswax once or twice a year to nourish the wood. Keep the table away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity to prevent timber movement, cracking, or fading of the original patina.
