Card Table, 1740–60, Made in Newport, Rhode Island, United States, American, Mahogany, maple, white pine, 27 1/4 x 35 1/2 x 34 1/2 in. (69.2 x 90.2 x 87.6 cm), Furniture, The form of this table is most unusual. The table top is in two pieces: one a drop leaf, the other lifting up to provide access to a storage well, presumably for storing card-playing accoutrements. While it is possible for the entire top to be vertical, the lack of any device to support the upper half in an upright position shows that the table was not intended to be stored in a corner
