This 19th-century Victorian card table is made from dark brown walnut and ebonised wood, standing 75 cm high, 92 cm wide, and 45.7 cm deep. The piece has a burr walnut top with an ebonised moulded edge that rotates to reveal a shallow storage well and opens to a blue baize playing surface. The structure rests on a turned central stem with detailed circular carving above a quadform base supported by four carved scroll cabriole legs on brass castors. Surface marks appear on the top and woodwork, showing normal signs of age and use. Position this table in a gentleman's library or an empty corner to serve as a functional card table or a decorative console surface. The fold-over top provides flexibility for everyday display or evening entertainment, while the brass castors allow easy repositioning across the room. The rich timber tones and carved scroll feet coordinate with traditional period interiors and antique furniture collections.

FAQs

A fold-over table manufactured during the 19th century for playing card games, often doubling as a decorative wall or console table when closed.

Victorian card tables frequently incorporated solid walnut or mahogany veneers, ebonised timber details, turned central pedestals, and swivel-top mechanisms lined with green baize or felt.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved detailing, original brass or ceramic castors, smooth swivel-and-fold top mechanisms, authentic timber age patina, and traditional hand-cut joinery under the apron.

Position the table folded against a wall as a console, styled with contemporary ceramic lamps, framed art, or decorative objects to create a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern aesthetics.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly along the wood grain, keep away from direct heat sources, and protect any internal playing surface from moisture.
