Edwards & Robert figured among the best English cabinet makers in the latter 19th century, and became a leading London retailer.  They produced high-quality furniture as well as copies of 18th and 19th century English and French pieces.  Georgian designs were favored by Edwards & Robert.  Fine woods used in their craft included mahogany and satinwood, among others.

 

Antique games and card tables became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries as games and card playing became pastimes of the European upper class. The tables were made of quality fine wood, often decorated with inlay, and might also feature a dual-purpose top, with one side designed for gaming and the other for writing or other uses. Other games and card table features include folding tops, inlaid game boards, or specialized storage compartments.
