How do you open a folding card table?

Most pieces utilise a turnover top or a concertina mechanism that lifts and swings open on hinges to reveal the playing surface. Care must be taken to support the pivoting leaf properly to avoid straining the original wooden joints and pivot pins.

What is a demilune table used for?

A demilune table functions as a console or side piece against a wall when folded, saving space in smaller rooms. When opened, the half-circle top transforms into a full circle or square for card games and social gatherings.

How do I tell Georgian from Victorian tables?

Georgian pieces often feature cleaner lines, Chippendale-inspired carved details, and finer proportions dating from the eighteenth century. Victorian examples tend to incorporate heavier pedestals, figured mahogany veneers, and more varied interior storage compartments.

Can these tables be used for dining?

Many card tables feature baize-lined interiors intended specifically for games rather than dining. Tea tables and dual-action pieces with plain wood tops offer a smooth surface suitable for serving tea or occasional use.
