Queen Anne Period Walnut Games Card Table

About the Item

An early-18th century Queen Anne period carved walnut games, or card, table. Circa 1710. Veneered in well-figured walnut with herringbone feather bandings. The bold fold-over outset shaped top opening to reveal candle stands and guinea wells. Raised on slender cabriole legs with lappet carving and pad feet. This fine, rare antique has a superb, rich golden color and beautiful original waxed surfaces. NB. The hinged ''concertina'' action allows for positioning a leg at all four corners, demonstrating its early 18th century sophistication and, of course, stability. Literature: ‘The Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture’, Ralph Edwards CBE FSA, Hamlyn, London (4th impression 1972) ill. 7, p. 519: note the lappet carving, & ill. 10, p. 52; vis. the circular corners dished for candle sticks, and wells for counters.

  • George III Period Satinwood Pembroke Table
    Located in Lymington, GB
    A late 18th century satinwood Pembroke table of very good rich color. George III period. The top crossbanded in satinwood, bordered with fine lozenges of ebony stringing. The edges ebonized with narrow mahogany crossbandings. Raised on moulded tapering legs, indicative of a date circa 1770.   The frieze with two working mahogany-lined short drawers retaining the original gilt-brass Rococo mounts. The two leaves are supported on the original recessed hinged ‘ear’ supports. Overall in lovely original state. Some minor historic marks entirely commensurate with its age. Very good patination. These antique Pembroke tables were designed to be versatile: as small supper tables; occasional tables; tea tables; or lamp tables - sometimes also referred to as ‘drop leaf’ or ‘sofa’ tables. The majority of these Georgian tables are raised on square tapering legs or, when of a later date, on turned legs. It is more unusual for a satinwood Pembroke table to be raised on moulded tapering legs.   Interestingly, Thomas Sheraton (1751-1806) mentions the Pembroke table as follows: “a type of breakfast table from the name of the lady who first gave orders for one of them”, possibly referring to the Countess of Pembroke, of Wilton House, Salisbury, (1737-1831). A similar George III satinwood Pembroke table...

  • 17th Century Oak Refectory Table, Charles II Period
    Located in Lymington, GB
    A rare English 17th-century oak refectory table. Charles II period, ca 1675. The three-plank cleated detachable top is of superb color, figuring and patination. Raised on six baluster supports united by stretchers. The frieze is guilloche-carved on all four sides: this demonstrates that this table can be free-standing. Many of these were only carved on three sides. This versatile refectory table can be used as a hall table, dining table, serving table, or a wonderful kitchen table. A number of early oak pieces which we have sold have harmonized very well with modern interiors. A similar-sized refectory table (in generally poor condition) sold for £17,000.00 plus buyer's premium, in Duke's auctioneers ATHELHAMPTON HOUSE sale, Puddletown, Dorset, UK, 9th Oct, 2019. Nb. The turning of the supports on this antique table indicates a development away from an earlier, heavy, carved bulbous leg, to a simpler baluster leg of the later-seventeenth century. However the guilloche-carved frieze is a hint of an earlier period. Some historic restoration commensurate with 350 years of use. Dimensions: 8’5’' L. (256.5 cm) 2’8’' W. (81 cm) 2'7'’ H. (79 cm).
