263/12: A very fine quality late 18th century George III period inlaid satinwood Demi-Lune Card Table in lovely original condition. The well-figured satinwood top is widely crossbanded between boxwood stringing, whilst the frieze below is beautifully 'panelled' with rosewood and boxwood, with oval panels of figured satinwood above each of the tapering legs which terminate in ebonised spats. When opened, it forms an elegant oval and one can see the old (but not original) baize-lined interior. A lovely table. 38ins wide; 17.5ins front-to-back. c.1785
