Offered is an antique Empire-style flip-top card table, crafted in the mid-to-late 19th century. The piece features a beautifully grained mahogany veneer, a square fold-over top that opens to double in size, and a pedestal base with scrolled feet.

This table was designed for cards or parlor games, a staple in 19th-century American homes. The interior compartment shows hand craftsmanship and early joinery, consistent with period furniture.

The table is structurally solid, though it shows visible age-appropriate wear including veneer loss, scratches, finish wear, and minor chips at
the base (see detailed photos). These marks contribute to its antique character and authenticity.
