A handsome 19th-century George II style mahogany dual-action tea and card table, crafted with exceptional attention to form and detail. The table features dual action top, one opening to reveal a mahogany surface and another to a richly upholstered interior surface suitable for card playing, while the exterior functions as an elegant tea or occasional table when closed.
The shaped top is supported by four finely carved cabriole legs, each terminating in bold claw-and-ball feet - a hallmark of the George II tradition. The apron is deeply carved with flowing foliate scrollwork, adding depth and architectural presence to the piece.
Refined yet practical, this dual-purpose table is both decorative and functional, making it ideal for traditional interiors, libraries, or sophisticated entertaining spaces.
