This card table is composed of highly figured flame mahogany veneers throughout. The top is crossbanded and the apron has a central panel flanked by two similar panels. The supports are beautifully splayed acanthus flora, which is a form rarely seen in New York card tables. Note the use of gold leafing, which was a costly extra, and the verdis green paint, which was original.
