FAQs

Ebonised games tables are 19th-century tables treated to imitate ebony, commonly featuring specialised folding or inlaid tops designed for card games and pastimes in Victorian parlours.

These pieces typically utilise a secondary timber like mahogany finished with a black ebonising stain, complemented by exotic veneer crossbanding such as amboyna, brass castors, and precise joinery.

Authentication involves examining hand-cut dovetails, traditional secondary woods, maker stamps or paper labels, age-related patination on the finish, and period-correct brass hardware.

Positioned against a neutral wall as a console or side table, it introduces rich textural contrast and historical depth while serving as a functional surface.

Maintain the finish by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to protect the ebonised surface.
