About the Item
An Elegant and Rare George II Pollard Oak and Walnut Card Table, Circa 1740. England
This remarkable George II card table, dating to circa 1740, is a superb example of 18th-century English craftsmanship, blending functionality with exceptional design and materials.
The rectangular top is veneered in striking pollard oak, beautifully cross-banded in walnut and finely strung with ebony and boxwood. Its moulded edge and shaped corners highlight meticulous attention to detail and refinement.
The table opens via the favoured concertina action, revealing a baize-lined playing surface inset with four circular counter wells and corner candle stands, all veneered with the same exquisite pollard oak.
A single drawer, fitted with its original brass escutcheon and handle, offers practical storage for game pieces or cards, maintaining its functional appeal.
The table is raised on four gracefully shaped cabriole legs, each finely carved with acanthus leaves at the knees and tapering to delicate pad feet. The proportions and quality of the carving exemplify the sophistication of George II design.
Condition:
The table is in excellent condition, retaining its original brass hardware and showcasing a rich, warm patina developed over centuries. The baize playing surface has been sensitively restored to ensure usability while preserving the table’s historical integrity.
Historical Significance:
Card tables such as this were both practical and decorative, serving as elegant focal points in Georgian drawing rooms. Their design and craftsmanship reflect the cultural and social importance of gaming in 18th-century England.
This exquisite table is not only a functional piece of furniture but also a timeless testament to Georgian design. It would make a striking addition to any distinguished collection or interior, exuding elegance and historical charm.
