Antique games tables

Usually people explain antique card tables as the same as games tables.

Chess and draughts were popular during the 18 th and 19 th centuries, although backgammon and tric-trac ( a French variant of backgammon), also featured.

The most classic Victorian games tables are veneered in rosewood or walnut and stand on pedestal bases which are often elaborately carved.
