What is an early regency card table?

An early regency card table is a fold-over occasional table produced during the early nineteenth century, designed primarily for parlour games and tea. These pieces feature hinged tops that rotate or fold out to reveal a baize-lined surface, supported by pillars, lyre bases, or sabre legs.

How were these tables used originally?

They functioned primarily as flexible furniture for polite society, serving as side tables against drawing room walls during the day. In the evening, they opened up to accommodate card games, tea service, or writing, adapting quickly to the social demands of the household.

How do I care for rosewood and mahogany?

Protect the timber surfaces from direct sunlight and excessive temperature fluctuations to prevent the rosewood or mahogany veneers from drying out. Apply a traditional beeswax polish sparingly and buff with a soft cloth to maintain the natural lustre of the polished wood.

How do I distinguish Regency from George IV?

Regency pieces often display refined classical restraint, delicate brass stringing, and slender sabre legs derived from ancient Greek and Roman models. George IV examples tend towards heavier proportions, bolder carved details, and substantial architectural pedestals or lyre supports.
