FAQs

Games tables gained significant popularity in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries as parlor pastimes such as chess, checkers, and card games became fashionable among the social elite.

Authentic period tables were constructed using dense hardwoods like oak, walnut, or mahogany, frequently featuring hand-cut marquetry, parquetry inlays, and traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon.

Authentication relies on examining tool marks, timber shrinkage, hand-cut dovetails in drawers, and appropriate patination consistent with age and wear.

Such a table functions effectively as a focal point in a living room or study, paired with contemporary seating to create a balanced contrast between old and new.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and applying occasional natural wax to protect the timber finish.
