A rare and unusual early 19th Century richly patinated fruitwood turn over leaf card table in lovely original condition, finely hand carved with stunning detail throughout. The moulded hinged top folds over to reveal a fitted green baize playing surface of circular form raised over a storage compartment. The frieze with centred stylised shell motif detail flanked with scrolling foliate to both the front and sides is raised over two beautifully elegant lyre-legs conjoined with c-scroll and foliate stretcher, supported on outscrolling trestle base, terminating on brass casters.
