This is an antique gentleman's card table. A superior example of an English, ebonised and gilt gaming table by Gillow & Co of Lancaster, presented in wonderful condition, dating to the Aesthetic period, circa 1875. 

  • Highly covetable example of Gillow's late Victorian excellence
  • Displaying a desirable aged patina
  • Lustrous ebonised mahogany with deep wax polish finish
  • North African thuya inlay and gilt flourishes contrast wonderfully against the black stocks
  • Wide tabletop with gently tiered edge rotates through 90 degrees, revealing the striking interior
  • Emerald green baize folding out upon a pair of ornate brass hinges with scrolled decoration
  • The quality baize with Greek key impression - some small openings along the seam
  • Square front apron with inlaid burr walnut, bordered by gilt tooling
  • The Gillow & Co maker's mark above the apron with serial number 3271, dating the piece to 1875

  • Standing on gently splayed bracket feet and united by a turned stretcher
  • Riding smoothly upon a set of four recessed castors

This is an impressive antique gentleman's card table, with the superb craftsmanship to be expected of the renowned Gillows & Co.
