Late Victorian Burr Walnut Georgian Revival Card Table c.1890

This is a fine late 19th Century (circa 1890) Victorian antique burr walnut 'Georgian revival' fold-over card table, designed in the Georgian Revival style, the table features a richly figured burr walnut top with a shaped front edge, crossbanded border and decorative carved edging. The shaped frieze is raised on four elegant cabriole legs, each with carved shell decoration to the knee and terminating in pad feet. The hinged top folds open to reveal a traditional green baize playing surface, creating a generously proportioned card or games table. When closed, the table has a compact footprint and can equally be used as an occasional or side table. The burr walnut displays particularly attractive natural figuring and a warm, well-aged colour.
