Here is a card table that belonged to my grandparents. I have tried to find some info on it but there is no information on the back or the base.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

You have a wonderful example of what is typically called folk marquetry.

Apparently these objects were not mass produced but were created by individuals, often anonymously.

I love this stuff and have previously posted something on this topic. See:

You will need to cut and past the URL into the navigation bar.

I show 4 examples from my collection and provide recommendations for further reading.
