Cedar foldover card table

• This Cedar foldover card table, with a faceted pedestal and concave quadriform base, was made in the 1840s, probably in Tasmania, where it was sourced.

• The top is all Cedar except for the underneath cross support which is made of Kauri Pine.

• The pedestal is constructed of Cedar facets approximately 1" thick . It is attached to the base by an iron rod, the join between pedestal and base being concealed by a finely moulded cedar collar.

• The base is Cedar veneered over Kauri Pine. It is supported on concealed casters underneath bun feet.

• There is cross-banding around the (original) baize on the (opened) top; and also on the curved surfaces on the sides of the base.

• The table is made of fine quality Cedar. The top is ribbon Cedar; and finely figured Cedar has been used elsewhere. The colour is a rich brown, with orange/red highlights. The finish is original. The condition is excellent, apart from an expected blemish or two on the top.

• The table is large, impressive and elegant. Its dimensions (top closed) are: width: 36”; height: 29”; depth: 17.5”.
