FAQs

Victorian card tables are specialised pieces of furniture crafted during the 19th century specifically for social games and entertaining. They typically feature a hinged top that swivels and unfolds to double the surface area, often exposing a concealed storage well beneath.

High-quality Victorian games tables were predominantly constructed using dense hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut. Internal hinges and castors were made from iron or brass, with the swivel mechanisms relying on central wooden pivots.

Authentic period examples display characteristic 19th-century features, including hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-carved pedestal columns, heavy brass castors beneath bracket or paw feet, and dense Brazilian rosewood with prominent grain contrast.

When closed, a card table functions as a compact console or side table against a wall or in an entryway, supporting lamps or ceramics. Unfolded, it serves as an occasional writing desk or gaming surface within a living space or study.

Preserve rosewood surfaces by dusting regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade natural beeswax polish along the direction of the grain. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement or veneer lifting.
