A stunning pair of card tables with rosewood veneered tops crossbanded with amboyna and rosewood bandings and amboyna bandings to the sides.

The table tops sit on elegant ebonised ring turned platforms above a solid parcel gilt sphere that terminates on a gilded ring turned disc above fluted and gilded knees. The knees sit on a circular inlaid amboyna plinth and are raised on out-swept inlaid amboyna legs that terminate on the original brass lion paw caps and castors.
