https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/foundersA late 19th century mahogany card table by James Shoolbred & Co. in the Chippendale Revival style. The beautifully figured top folds open to a forest-green baize playing surface with dished corner counter wells, all supported on an impressive pull-out, telescopic sliding frame.
Below, the frieze is decorated on all sides with blind fretwork and a central floral relief panel to the front and rear, all raised on acanthus-carved cabriole legs with hand-carved ball-and-claw feet.
Produced by James Shoolbred & Co., the table transitions seamlessly from a freestanding or wall-facing console into a substantial playing surface. Its rear sliding-frame mechanism provides exceptional structural stability when opened, ensuring a rigid, four-cornered foundation for gaming and entertaining.
Very good antique condition, with a deep aged colour and light surface wear consistent with age. One rear foot features a historic loss with stability unaffected. The sliding frame operates smoothly. Structurally sound and ready for immediate placement.
English, circa 1890.
