Lot Essay

These card tables are closely related to a pair of slightly grander tables similarly decorated to simulate bronze, but made of exotic South American rosewood with brass-inlaid folding tops and brass lion's masks heading the slightly bolder panelled legs, which were sold separately at Christie's in London - one most recently on 19 November 2015, lot 623 (£20,000), and the other on 19 November 2009, lot 14 (£30,000). In their general outline they are also related to a pair of Regency rosewood card tables of similar design which were sold anonymously, Bonhams, London, 20 November 2007, lot 158 (£20,400).
