A handsome William IV card table in richly figured rosewood, C.1835. The swivel top opens to reveal a navy baize lined playing surface, while the reverse presents a beautifully figured rosewood face when closed for use as a side or console table — a versatile piece equally at home as a games table or occasional table.
The top sits on a substantial reeded pedestal column, terminating in a splayed base with well-carved scroll supports and gadrooned bun feet. The rosewood throughout displays exceptional flame figuring, and the piece retains its warm, original patina.
In excellent condition, this table presents beautifully from every angle — the quality of the timber and the confidence of the carving are immediately apparent. A striking example of the form, equally suited to a formal drawing room or as a statement occasional table.
