Combining Leisure Pursuits with Beautiful Antique Furniture – Card & Games Tables from Regent Antiques

Nothing brings a crowd of friends together like a games evening, perhaps playing card games, chess, backgammon and other popular games.

The pleasure of playing the game and the satisfaction of being in good company is a combination that is hard to beat but imagine how much better it could be if you were all playing on a beautiful quality antique card table or antique games table.

At Regent Antiques we are very familiar with the pleasure that our customers get from beautiful antique furniture and, for your next games night, we have assembled this selection of antique games tables including several fine antique marquetry tables.

Firstly, let’s take a look at this Antique Walnut Marquetry & Ormolu Card Table which dates from around 1910.

This beautiful antique French walnut and marquetry card table is fitted with fabulous ormolu mounts, beautifully inlaid with floral marquetry and stands on elegant cabriole legs terminating in gilded acanthus sabots.

Swivelling the top reveals a compartment for storing your cards, pens and paper and the top, decorated with floral marquetry, opens to reveal a baize-lined playing surface with inlaid borders.

The next item for you to admire is this Dutch Inlaid Mahogany Marquetry Card Table which is an outstanding 18th century style piece, beautifully crafted in mahogany with exquisite marquetry decoration.

This table has a convenient and attractive green felt playing surface which is attractively encircled with floral inlaid marquetry. You will also notice inlaid marquetry around the rim and down the four legs, when closed, there is a neat hidden drawer in the centre for storage of playing cards.

Both functional, and very high quality, this useful and attractive table is sure to be popular with your friends and family.

Completing this week’s round up of antique card and games tables is this Louis XV Style Card Chess Backgammon Games Table which is versatile and very typical of the period it is styled after.

The craftsmanship and finish this table offers is second to none, the table featuring exquisite inlaid decoration with ormolu mounts and including a chess board and a backgammon board concealed within the interior.

Serving the dual purpose of being both decorative and useful, why not make room for this beautiful item in your home?
