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

Popularised during the early 19th century, a Regency fold-over card table is a versatile piece of occasional furniture designed with a hinged top that opens to double its surface area, typically resting on a swivel mechanism or gate leg to accommodate social card games.

Cabinetmakers during the Regency era predominantly utilised fine mahogany or rosewood, frequently embellished with brass stringing, ebony crossbanding, turned column supports, and splayed legs ending in brass cap castors.

Authentic Regency card tables feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass castors, subtle wood shrinkage along grain lines, and evidence of hand-planed secondary timbers beneath the frame or inside the internal well.

Positioned against a wall when folded, this style of table functions as an elegant console table in an entryway or living space, ideal for supporting a ceramic table lamp, framed art, or decorative accessories.

To protect the timber finish and veneer, keep the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources, apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year, and promptly wipe away any moisture using a soft, dry lint-free cloth.
