Antique Bridge Tables were designed from the early 18th Century Georgian period on-wards for the card game Bridge. Bridge was most popular in the Victorian and Edwardian periods and was used with sets of cards with artists painting comical pictures on the back. These card sets can be very collectable and sought after now. The game of Bridge can be traced back to the early 16th century, originally called Whist in Britain, it was a big part of entertainment and gambling. Antique games tables were made especially for playing the game of Bridge and as these pieces were made to impress. No expense was spared in their construction as guests would see and use them, so having a high quality games table on display would be a choice piece of furniture showing your wealth.
