How do I use an antique card table?

These tables are designed to unfold or swivel open to reveal a baize-lined playing surface, often supported by a swing leg or a gateleg mechanism. Many incorporate hidden wells beneath the top for storing counters, cards and game pieces when not in use.

Where were these tables placed in a home?

In period drawing rooms, folding tables stood against the wall as console or side tables when not in use. When evening entertainment began, they were moved to the centre of the room and opened for guests to play cards.

How do I distinguish Regency from Victorian tables?

Regency tables tend to feature architectural lines, brass inlay, rosewood veneers and classical brass paw feet or sabots. Victorian pieces often display heavier proportions, rich burr walnut, intricate marquetry and more elaborate carving or ormolu mounts.

What is an envelope card table?

An envelope table is a clever square design where four triangular leaves rotate and fold over each other to form a closed top. Popular during the Edwardian era, opening one leaf causes the others to open simultaneously in a coordinated motion.
