How do you open the top?

Most versions utilise a hinged leaf that swings open on a pivot or rotates ninety degrees to reveal a concealed playing surface underneath. Supporting a leg usually swings out simultaneously from the frieze to hold the extended leaf steady during play.

What games were played on them?

These surfaces accommodated card games such as whist and bouillotte, alongside board games like chess and draughts. Some tables feature built-in chequerboards or reversible tops with leather inserts for writing and general use.

How do I date these tables?

Dating relies on stylistic revival cues, timber selection, and construction methods characteristic of periods like the mid nineteenth century or Victorian era. Ormolu mounts and marquetry styles often align with Louis XV or Louis XVI revivals popular during the eighteen eighties.

Where should I place one?

They suit reception rooms, studies, or hallways as console or side tables when folded closed against a wall. Opening the top requires space around the piece to allow the leaf to pivot and the extra leg to swing clear.
