Victorian Ebonised Card Table

Here we have this late 19th Century Victorian antique ebonised card table that has the influence of the Aesthetic movement that was high fashion at this time. The card-table has the extremely rare feature of 2 drawers lined in fine mahogany in the frieze. The top with the top laid in amboyna with an oval panel of thuya wood to the centre. Inset around the edge is a band of ebony with fine box inlays of intertwined leaf designs. It stands on a 4-column central base with the 4 shaped swept legs with castors under. The hinged folding top opens to reveal the original blue baize playing surface. Imagine enjoying ownership of this Victorian ebonised card-table and playing card games around it with your family and friends. On occasions customers have been disappointed to miss an item as they e-mailed their enquiry instead of phoning, I would recommend that if you wish to get the piece, please call rather than e-mail. We are very friendly and easy to deal with. Antiques are very environmentally friendly items; they are the ultimate green recycled product. They have been used for generations, and will go forward for more generations, sparing the worlds resources. Unlike mass-produced modern items using scarce resources, cutting down acres of forests before being shipped for 3000 miles, used for a few years then discarded, before another load is shipped again 3000 miles.
