Regency Mahogany Folding Card Table

Regency mahogany folding card table, dating from the early 19th century. The well-figured mahogany top has rounded corners and is beautifully crossbanded with rosewood. The hinged top opens to reveal a green baize playing surface, also framed with rosewood banding. The table is raised on a turned twist-ring pedestal, terminating in four elegant hipped cabriole legs fitted with brass castors. A fine example of Regency craftsmanship, this versatile table serves equally well as a side or occasional table when closed and as a traditional card table when opened.
