French Provincial design with a carved shell apron, rounded corners, cabriole legs, and Baker's original hand-rubbed finish. Functions as a console table when closed and opens to a 34-inch square game surface for cards, puzzles, board games, or entertaining. Ideal for an entry, living room, library, or family room.

Retains the original Baker metal plaque along with the handwritten "Milling Road" notation and model number inside the table.

JUNE'S THOUGHTS
What draws me to this table is its quiet versatility. Closed, it has the graceful proportions of a French console that slips easily into an entry or beside a sofa. Open, it becomes a comfortable gathering place for four people without overwhelming the room. I also appreciate Baker's restraint. Rather than relying on elaborate carving, the maker allowed the remarkable burl walnut to become the star. The flowing grain almost resembles marble or swirling clouds, giving the table visual interest from every angle. It's one of those pieces that feels equally at home in a traditional interior, an English country house, or a more collected contemporary setting.
