Dimensions:
A fine Victorian burr walnut card table dating to circa 1870, featuring a beautifully figured serpentine shaped fold-over top opening to reveal a later replacement baize playing surface.
The table is raised on a pair of elegant turned and carved supports united by a turned stretcher and standing on boldly carved cabriole legs fitted with the original porcelain castors. The rich burr walnut veneers display particularly attractive figuring across both the top and frieze, with a warm mellow colour and pleasing patina.
The top opens smoothly to reveal a generous playing surface, while the table remains an elegant occasional or console table when closed. The carved details to the column supports and cabriole legs add to its decorative appeal, making it a versatile piece suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
A handsome Victorian card table of excellent colour and proportions.
Circa: 1870
