Dimensions
Particularly Fine and Rare Pair of Satinwood Card - Gaming Tables of the Last Quarter of the 18th Century .The well chosen Satinwood timbers are highlighted by the use of various woods including boxwood and ebony stringing and a variety of marquetry designs with an element of stained sycamore .Each table has the unusual feature of a breakfront marquetry panel which in turn dummies as a counter or card drawer .
Note :- Of an Exceptional standard that would interest the serious collector of fine English Furniture .The balance of stronger than usual dimensions of frieze and leg and rare drawer formation points to a master such as Chippendale . Most certainly pointing to a leading manufacturer of 18th C Furniture
