About the Item
This is a stunning pair of antique French amboyna and ebonised card tables, circa 1860 in date.
The tables are made from striking and rare amboyna, and then each is beautifully decorated with forty fabulous Sevres porcelain plaques which feature hand painted floral motifs and are set in elegant ormolu mounts.
They stand on elegant turned and fluted twin column supports joined by a stretcher and raised on outswept legs that terminate in the original brass and porcelain castors.
The hinged tops opens to reveal the original claret baize lined interior for playing cards. As you swivel the top into position a compartment for storing your cards, pens and paper is revealed.
They are superb pieces which are sure to get lots of attention wherever they are placed.

Amboyna
is a type of wood which has its origins in Indonesia (the preferred veneer comes particularly from the Andaman Islands). The grain texture is one of the rarest and most exclusive on earth.
The burls are often very small, which is why the sheets of veneer come in small dimensions. The colours range from deep yellowish-orange to dark red.
After finishing the surface, the grain texture of amboyna wood has a depth and richness unmatched in other textured woods.

Satinwood
is a hard and durable wood with a satinlike sheen, much used in cabinetmaking, especially in marquetry. It comes from two tropical trees of the family Rutaceae (rue family). East Indian or Ceylon satinwood is the yellowish or dark-brown heartwood of Chloroxylon swietenia.
The lustrous, fine-grained, usually figured wood is used for furniture, cabinetwork, veneers, and backs of brushes. West Indian satinwood, sometimes called yellow wood, is considered superior. It is the golden yellow, lustrous, even-grained wood found in the Florida Keys...
