FAQs

Card and games tables became essential features of social entertaining in nineteenth-century homes. Designed to double as decorative console tables when closed, they feature fold-over tops that open to reveal a larger surface suitable for playing card games.

Victorian card tables were predominantly constructed from solid woods such as mahogany, rosewood, and walnut, frequently accented with decorative burr walnut veneers. Interior playing surfaces were traditionally lined with baize, felt, or leather.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces display natural variations in the veneer grain, hand-cut dovetail joints on internal framing, brass castors beneath carved tripod or quadruped bases, and original swivel or fold-over hinge mechanisms.

When closed, a fold-over card table serves as an occasional console in an entrance hallway, alcove, or living room, topped with modern table lamps, artwork, or ceramics to create a bridge between historic and contemporary elements.

Keep walnut furniture away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent the veneer from lifting or fading. Clean the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply high-grade beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the finish.
