Regency card table

Very elegant mahogany, Regency period card table circa 1815. Beautifully figured mahogany top, bordered by ebony stringing and crossbanded mahogany throughout. The fine ring turned legs terminate in a beehive design, making the whole a very pleasing form. Repairs to veneer, splits due to shrinkage and replacement of one beech gate rail, due to early borer damage (borer no longer present). The top required some polishing. Care was taken to leave the remaining traces of a Bada (British Antique Dealers Association) sticker on the apron. The felt lining has been replaced.
