Object Description

A fine and rare Queen Anne burr and highly figured walnut card table, circa 1710 England.

The feather and crossbanded book-matched top opens on original hinges to reveal a baize lined interior with figured walnut candle stands and counter wells, each finely lined in feather banding. The shaped frieze conceals a beautifully constructed oak lined drawer to the centre and stands on carved cabriole legs with lappet knees and pad feet. Lovely colour and patination throughout.
