With a D-shaped foldover top, opening to a mahogany gaming surface above a welled interior and the conforming frieze raised on swan neck lyre-form supports centered by a fruit and flower-filled urn on a canted quadripartite plinth, ending on hipped acanthus carved paw feet on casters.Note: This table is illustrated in Helena Hayward, World Furniture, 1965, plate 949, page 248, and written by Joseph T. Butler, America 1815 - 1918. Card table of mahogany, probably made by a New York cabinet-maker. The device of swans' necks had been earlier used by Charles-Honore Lannuier but the legs, composed of lion paws, linked to the base by a richly carved acanthus bracket, suggest a date of about 1830. Authors Collection."" 31 x 36 1/4 x 17 3/4 in.
