Pair of George III Neoclassical Style Mahogany Demi-lune Card Tables by Maple & Co

An elegant pair of George III style mahogany card tables by Maples & Co and dating to circa 1900. These unusual tables are designed after the Neoclassical style of Robert Adam and Thomas Chippendale as found in Paxton House in Scotland. The solid mahogany hinged D-shaped tops with a rope-twist edge above a stop fluted frieze with floral paterae and bead and reel moulding. With well carved rams heads and bell flower trails to each tapering leg and terminating in carved acanthus leaf and hairy cloven hoof feet. The back legs swing open to support the hinged top flap and form a circular games table with 3ft diameter top. One table with label for ‘Maple & Co, By Royal Appointment, London, Paris, Buenos Aires’.

In a dark shade of mahogany one table has slightly faded and has had the baize replaced, the other with original baize which is wearing through on the crease (we can arrange to have both these replaced if preferred). Some marks to the veneer inside beside the left hinges but we will repolish these areas, small filled holes to the back face where the legs had previously been screwed shut, these are not seen when against a wall or in use.

The overall dimensions at the largest points are approximately

Width - 37.25in (94.5cm)

Depth closed - 18in (45.5cm)

Height - 29in (73.5cm)

Top open - 36in x 36in (91.5cm x 91.5cm)

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
