   Hello,
   I am looking for 1 sq yd (3×3) of bright green baize fabric for a 1894 Hunzinger Game Table. Could you please quote a price in US Dollars? I would appreciate your thoughts on whether the fabric should be a faced baize or not for card & die games.. Also once purchased, how long would it take to arrive if shipped to Vermont, USA?

      Hi Kellie,

      We recommend the standard baize for card tables because of its durability and Holly is the traditional colour. However, it would be worth checking the thickness of the baize you’re replacing because some antique tables were originally covered in a much thinner fabric. If there’s a recess that the new baize will need to fit into, please check that it’s at least 1.75mm. If you prefer a colour in one of the other ranges, they’d also be suitable. A faced finish has a nap and gives it a sheen which changes the appearance from different angles.

      You have two options for purchasing; either a piece cut to size, or a metre length (39 inches) cut from the roll.

      The metre price is cheaper (£64.96 / approx $85) but the shipping cost is higher because it’s larger and heavier so we send it on a roll (£70 / approx $91). Rolls are sent with a courier, usually FedEx, and take 1-3 days to US addresses.

      A piece cut to 1 sq yd (92cm x 92cm) works out at £88.17 (approx $115) and because it’s smaller, lighter and we can send it folded, the shipping is £15.99 (approx $21). Folded pieces are sent airmail and usually take around 5-7 days to arrive.

      If you’re not sure which baize or colour to go for, we offer sample swatches of all of the baizes in our collection: Standard Baize, Extra Wide, 100% Merino Wool and Vivid Hues.

      I hope that’s helpful and wish you the best of luck with renovating your table!
      Andrea

   Hello,
   I want to line a desk drawer with a remnant piece. Can you cut to the exact size?

   Thank you.

   Hello:
   What baize material (gauge and type) would you recommend for a desk writing surface?
   Thank you.

      The most important thing is to measure the recess that the baize fits into on the desk. You don’t want the baize to sit proud of the recess especially if the desk folds away. We carry 5 different ranges of baize all of which are suitable but on old writing desks it’s usually our Vivid Colour Baize 0.9mm thick or our 100% Merino 1.1mm thick.

      If it’s a desk you making from scratch then it doesn’t matter which you use and it’s down to personal preference at the end of the day based on the look, feel or colour you want.

      I hope the above is useful.
