Games tables originated in the 1700’s, and were created purely for leisure… and maybe for the sake of gossip among English ladies. More than just a table, the games table was a status symbol. The wealthy would gather around their games tables to catch up and maybe even gamble a little. One of our favorite women in history (and part of the design inspiration for our games tables) was Georgiana Cavendish, the duchess of Devonshire. Georgiana was full of beauty and character, and she was known for her fashion sense and love of gambling. She kept her gambling debts a secret from her husband, in spite of the fact that he was one of the richest men in England.
