Elegant Card and Games Table Restoration - A Glimpse into Austro-Hungarian Past!

In this video, I restore an antique envelope playing cards table, most likely made during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. I bought the table from a website in Poland and worked on it with great pleasure for about 300 hours.
The table was in a state of disrepair when I got it. The veneer was loose and broken, and someone had sprayed pink paint.
The restoration process was challenging but rewarding. I learned much about furniture restoration and am very proud of the finished product.
If you want to learn more about antique envelope card tables or furniture restoration, I encourage you to watch this video.
More about the restoration/transformation process:
I bought this card table from a website in Poland. I had to drive a few miles to get it. The table cost quite a lot, but that didn't matter, especially as it came with all these wonderful old playing cards plus other games.
The process of restoring the table went well. I used various types of stain, made my shellac, and replaced the damaged veneer.
I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you!
A short history of envelope cards table:
The history of antique envelope card tables dates back to the 18th century. The first envelope card tables were made in England, quickly becoming popular throughout Europe. These tables were designed to be portable and easy to set up, making them ideal for gaming parties and social gatherings.
Envelope card tables get their name from the way their tops fold down. The top of the table is divided into four sections, which can be folded down and nested together. This creates a compact, envelope-shaped package that can easily store or transport.
The earliest envelope card tables were made of wood but often decorated with brass or silver mounts. In the 19th century, envelope card tables began to be made of more exotic materials, such as marble and ivory.
Envelope card tables reached the height of their popularity in the Victorian era. They were often used as a centerpiece in the drawing room or parlor during this time. They were also popular wedding gifts, seen as a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
The popularity of envelope card tables declined in the early 20th century. This was partly due to the rise of new card games, such as Bridge, which required larger tables. However, envelope card tables remain popular among collectors and antique enthusiasts.
Here are some of the most notable features of antique envelope card tables:
They are made of high-quality materials like wood, marble, or ivory.
They are often decorated with brass or silver mounts.
They are portable and easy to set up.
They have a distinctive "envelope" shape when the top is folded down.
They are a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
What games I found in the drawer:
The most interesting are the two decks by Ferdinand Piatnik & Söhne Wien. It is an Austrian playing card company founded in 1824 by Ferdinand Piatnik. The company is based in Vienna and is one of the world's oldest and largest playing card companies.
Piatnik began his career as a painter of playing cards. In 1843 he bought the playing card company of Anton Moser and founded his own company. The company was successful from the beginning and quickly expanded into new markets. In the 1850s, Piatnik was already exporting its products to the United States and Great Britain.
In 1891, the company was taken over by the sons of Ferdinand Piatnik. The Sons modernized production and made the company one of the leading playing card manufacturers in the world. Today, Piatnik produces a variety of playing cards, including poker cards, skat cards, bridge cards, and playing cards for children.
The company exports its products to over 70 countries and is one of the market leaders in Europe. Piatnik is also a significant sponsor of cultural events and sporting events. The company is an integral part of Austrian culture and helps to make Austrian culture known abroad.
A Domino game from 1972, many sets of cards made in Austria from the 70s, and a deck of vintage pin-up girls made probably around the 40s - 50s.
In addition, a complete pocket chess board was made in the 50s, and many chips and jetons.
Please ask me if you have any questions about what I used and why! I answer them all!

[@nealc.6927]

[@juliebaker6969]

No, those are NOT tarot cards. They're old fashioned playing cards. If you notice they have the same Ace through King setup and the same Heart, Diamond, Spade, Club suits as any other deck. They just have the numbers in Roman Numerals, and are missing the number and letter designations in the corners, this is typical of antique decks of cards.

[@juliebaker6969]

Those small plastic discs are Tiddlywinks. They're a game played by using a larger disc (the shooter) to press down on the edge of a smaller disc (a wink), and send it flying through the air. It can be played either by trying to "shoot" your wink the farthest, or by setting up a target and trying to be the one to get closest to it. We always color coordinated our winks so it was easy to tell who's wink was who's..... It saved a lot of arguing.

[@1953lili]

I agree...wonderful!

[@prukempire]

Those tarot cards look to be Industrie und Glück patterned cards used to play Tarock, a card game popular in the Austro-Hungarian empire (and still played today). The cards are actually not very suitable for tarot fortune-telling due to the lack of images on the suit cards. The pin-up cards look to be in remarkable condition for their likely age. If they're not reproductions, they're from the '50's-60's. likely produced in Hungary.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I would love to know how Tarock is played. I hope to find the rules, and I also hope to have all the cards in the deck. Thank you for the info!

[@b1ff]

@rustyshadesrestoration Here’s an English wiki article that may help you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot_card_games?wprov=sfti1 And a short list of “Tarock”-related wiki articles (including the above article) that may help: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarock?wprov=sfti1

[@RedwoodRhiadra]

I think the art on the pin-up cards may be by Alberto Vargas, it feels like his style: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Vargas

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you 😊

[@foshizle121]

Is Tarock the same as what we in Balkan call Bela? Or what the French call Belote?

[@agnesgoldberg7341]

Magyar kartya Wow. Hungarian card games. Thank you for taking on this project. This is bringing me back all the Saturdays and Sundays watching my father his father and my uncle playing it either outside the yard in warm weather or the hallways in our Gerendasi farm where I was born. I was struggling with grieving my father’s death but this upload gave me this picture how they are playing in heaven now. Maybe it’s just a dream and it’s something I wanna believe but it brought peace to my heart and a smile. Thank you so much. This is amazing.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I'm so glad that I could bring back those beautiful memories to you! 🙂

[@bethbleas8378]

Remarkable! I loved all the old cards!

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I'm happy to know that!

[@chandarussell]

Wow. That is gorgeous. What a shame they don’t make tables like this any more. I’d love one. It would be especially great to have one for holidays and other big family get togethers. We love to play games of all sorts like this when the family is all together.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I totally agree!

[@BritInvLvr]

I know, right?

[@asakayosapro]

At the very least, any carpenter or wood smith can reproduce something similar if one had all the parts.

[@woodworkingandepoxy643]

Plenty of us woodworkers that make these several times a year. Made to order though. And they can be pretty pricey

[@user-ei6os1uk7x]

Сколько труда вложено в этот маленький, прекрасный столик . Результат великолепный.Просто супер.❤❤❤❤

[@BritInvLvr]

I had a friend who passed away years ago who collected playing cards. I’m sure he would have loved these decks.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I'm sorry for your loss!

[@manuela_kral4983]

The 'Ferdinand Piatnik & Söhne Wien' card deck is used for playing Tarock (not Tarot!). The front pictures haven't been changed, they are actually still looking the same. Piatnik is one of the largest card manufacturers worldwide and still a family run business, located in Vienna. The second Tarock card deck is also from a Viennese company, Franz Adametz , theme 'Industrie und Glück'.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

That's a lovely piece of information! I would love to know how the game is played, and I hope to have all the cards. Is it possible that Tarot can somehow come because of these cards? The name is so similar...

[@manuela_kral4983]

@@rustyshadesrestoration Tarot is a completley different sort of cards, it is used by fortune tellers and has symbols like The Death, The Sun, The Priest a.s.o. and consits of 22 cards. There are different variations of theTarock games which are played with 40-54 cards or even more. In Austria we are playing "Königrufen" (54 cards) or "Zwanzigerrufen" (40 cards) and is played by 4 persons. Wikipedia says that Königrufen is also played in Poland. Ask your family, maybe someone of them is familiar with it.

[@jasher2847]

@@rustyshadesrestoration Yes, they are also used for tarot (divination). In French the divination method with these cards is known as cartes à jouer or tarot à jouer, and if you search by those names you should find as much information as you like. There is also a KZbinr named "Hyena - Soul Shadow" who uses them frequently and also wrote a small book about how to use them. If you start there it should give you more information you can use to search further. (Look for a video she did on July 1 2022 called "Lire les cartes avec le tarot à jouer Mon livre est disponible !" to see her flip through the book and talk about her method, use the captions to translate from French if needed.) I've seen several draws using these cards and find them intriguing, but they are very difficult to get in the US, they have to be purchased from Europe and shipped. You're very lucky to get all these vintage decks! Great job restoring the table too. Hope this information helps. EDITED TO ADD There is also a wonderful web site called The World of Playing Cards in the UK that has a very extensive historical collection of vintage decks along with clear photos and well-researched history. It is associated with The English Playing Card Society, so searching for either should get you to the WOPC site where you can research your own vintage decks. You can find more information on most, if not all, the wonderful decks you now own on that site just by searching for the publisher and putting in as much detail as you can, including the cartes à jouer decks. Have fun and good luck!

[@damogranheart5521]

​@@manuela_kral498322 cards for the major arcana. 56 cards for the rest of it. Total of 78.

[@psychoh13]

Is Taros the German name for the French name Tarot? Or is there a difference? Because they very much look like a French tarot card deck with 21 trump cards, an excuse, king, queen, knight, and jack cards with 4 suits.
