This Georgian antique games table belongs to the 18th century period and uses mahogany timber with a warm brown colour. The piece includes a serpentine top, a long frieze drawer to the front, carved knees on cabriole legs, and pad feet. The surface displays minor signs of age and wear across the top polish. Measuring 73 cm high, 90 cm wide, and 44 cm deep, it provides a compact console arrangement. In a contemporary home, this table sits neatly against an empty corner or serves as a functional fold-over surface for card games and leisure activities in a living room or study. The compact dimensions allow placement in smaller rooms without dominating the floor space, bringing traditional English country house character to interior schemes.

FAQs

A fold-over games table, popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, is constructed with a hinged top that opens to double its surface area, providing a stable platform for card playing or board games.

These tables were typically crafted from dense hardwoods such as Cuban mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, featuring solid turned or carved legs, timber veneers, and brass leaf hinges.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-planed undersides, hand-cut dovetail joints on internal timber framing, historical brass drop-leaf hinges, and uniform age-related wear to the legs and gate-leg supports.

When folded closed, the table functions as a narrow console table against a hallway wall or within a window alcove, topped with a table lamp, ceramic bowl, or framed picture.

Position the timber away from direct heat sources and radiators, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply a clear beeswax polish annually to preserve the wood finish.
