Victorian Figured Mahogany Turnover Top Card Table c.1860
DESCRIPTION
A handsome Victorian figured mahogany fold-over card or tea table dating from the mid-19th century.
 
The rectangular top opens on a swivel action to reveal a generous playing surface, with a fitted frieze drawer beneath retaining a decorative paper lining. The richly figured mahogany is particularly attractive throughout, displaying well-matched flame figuring across both leaves of the top.
 
The table stands on an elegant turned baluster pedestal above a boldly carved quatreform base with scrolling cabriole legs terminating in carved scroll feet. The shaped frieze is richly carved with flowing acanthus scrolls centred by a finely carved cluster of grapes, giving the piece a particularly decorative appearance. Both practical and decorative, it would serve equally well as a card table, lamp table, centre table or occasional table.
 
DIMENSIONS
Height: 80.5 cm
Width (closed): 99 cm
Depth (closed): 47 cm
 
CONDITION
Presented in good antique condition consistent with age and use.
There are the expected marks, knocks and surface scratches associated with age. The figured mahogany has developed a warm, attractive colour and patina. There is a section of veneer loss to the right-hand side. The drawer retains a decorative paper lining, which shows age-related staining and wear.
 
The fold-over mechanism operates as intended, and the table is solid and structurally sound.
 
Overall, this is an attractive, well-proportioned Victorian table with particularly good quality carving and beautiful figured mahogany.
