This is a desirable small-size card table, only 33 in wide. Card tables are commonly several inches wider. Interestingly, in the world of antiques, smaller is often better. Note that the solid wood top displays superb figure and is quite beautiful. See the attached image with both leaves open; they're magnificent. This table is related to a pair of tables illustrated in American Furniture: The Hennage Collection, Elizabeth Stillinger.
