This 18th century Georgian games table is fashioned from dark brown mahogany with a smooth polished finish and a rectangular top featuring turret corners. The construction incorporates two carved cabriole front legs decorated with acanthus leaf carving, terminating in pad feet, alongside two plain back legs. The timber displays rich warm tones with natural grain variations throughout the structure, and the front corners of the table frame are shaped to match the top. Measuring 73 cm high, 83 cm wide and 40 cm deep, the piece functions as an occasional surface or a console table against a narrow wall space in a living room, hallway or study. The compact dimensions allow it to sit comfortably in restricted areas while providing a practical surface for everyday use or display.

FAQs

Georgian games tables, produced during the 18th century, feature a hinged fold-over top designed to open into a gaming surface. They typically showcase cabriole or straight legs, carved knee decoration such as acanthus leaves, and balanced classical proportions characteristic of the era.

Dense, high-grade Cuban or West Indian mahogany was the primary timber utilised due to its strength and colour. Cabinetmakers employed hand-cut dovetail joints, gate-leg or rear swing-leg mechanisms to support the open leaf, and occasionally green baize linings on the interior playing surface.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of hand-planed surfaces, hand-cut joinery inside the framing, and natural timber shrinkage over time. The hinges are often cast brass, mortised flush into the timber edge, and the rear leg mechanism will show age-appropriate wear.

When folded closed, a Georgian games table functions as a console or side table against a hallway or living room wall. Placed beneath a mirror or artwork, it creates a structured focal point that balances historic timber with modern decor.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the timber grain. Keep the table away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer movement or wood split formation.
