FAQs

The Chippendale style, popular during the 18th century, is characterised by its incorporation of Rococo, Chinese, and Gothic elements, typically executed in rich mahogany with intricate carvings.

These tables were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or oak, often featuring secondary woods like pine or oak for interior framing, and surfaces lined with wool baize or leather.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, traditional patination on the wood, subtle tool marks from hand-carving, and hardware consistent with the 18th century.

An antique games table serves as a functional accent piece that can be placed against a living room wall in its folded position or positioned centrally with minimalist contemporary decor items on top to create historical contrast.

Preserve the wood by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, maintaining stable humidity levels, and cleaning the surface only with a dry cloth while protecting wool baize from moisture.
