Also Antique Furniture has dated this Walnut Folding Card Table to the Victorian era.
Its compact proportions make it an appealing occasional or side table, while the folding top opens to provide a traditional baize-lined playing surface when required. The table bears the retailer's label for W. F. Greenwood & Sons of York.
The demi-lune folding top opens to reveal a green baize playing surface and is supported by gate legs. Below is a shaped apron fitted with three small drawers, providing useful storage. The table stands on tapered chamfered legs united by a shaped stretcher.

CONDITION
The table is in good, solid condition with an attractive colour and polish. The folding mechanism operates freely, the gate legs extend and retract smoothly, and all three drawers run well. There are light marks, knocks and wear commensurate with age and use. There are a few small areas of slight splitting to the veneer on the top; however, the veneer remains secure and stable. Overall, this is a very attractive and practical period table, retaining a particularly pleasing figured walnut surface and presenting extremely well.
As with all antique and vintage furniture, this piece has been used and enjoyed over many years and should be expected to show signs of age and use. We aim to describe any significant faults, repairs or alterations as accurately and honestly as possible. The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report.
