Summary
A walnut and burr walnut concertina-action card table, English, circa 1730, the hinged top with projecting corners, cross-banded and feather-banded and with an ingeniously veneered edge so as to appear striped, opening to a baize-lined interior with sunken wells, the frieze with a drawer (later), on cabriole legs tapering to pad feet.
