Lot 151 , A pair of ebony strung burr walnut envelope card tables, W.1ft 11in. D.1ft 11in. H.2ft 5in.

A pair of ebony strung burr walnut envelope card tables, with reeded downswept legs fitted brass caps and castors, W.1ft 11in. D.1ft 11in. H.2ft 5in.
Estimate £600-800

High quality reproductions in an pseudo antique style.
Both have seen some light fading to the tops. The four flaps don't quite make a prefect join when folded in. One has a half inch piece of veneer missing from the top edge, the other has a few ring marks to the top.
Otherwise very good, underframes have old simulated wear. Baize perfect but dusty as these were used as lamp tables rather than for cards.
Overall good condition but for the minor faults to the tops. Come for sale from a Hampstead apartment.
