Victorian antique table with turn top?

I can't find any information on grandparent's table. Google image search shows similar looking tables as Victorian or Eastland (?), yet nothing on point for a table like this. Most others show marble tops. This table top pivots then unfolds into a bigger table. I'm stumped to find anything like it. Table came through family in Lancaster PA.

 

Dunno. But trying to find out learned a new term. "Chalice finial."

To my knowledge, typically called a game table. Does appear in the Eastlake style, but others here will know better than me.

 

someone must have taken great care of it, cuz from your pic , it just doesn't look that old.....imo...

 

I get the chalice.....
& likely eastlake style.........but a better man than I will have the final word..!

ps..any marks that could help us...????

 

Renaissance revival game or card table circa 1875. Does appear to be walnut.

 

I was afraid someone had it refinished over the years, but found a photo from the late 60's or 70's showing it in this condition. There is some slight staining on the unfolded surface. I regularly treat it with oil.

 

Thanks for that information. Yes, I'm fairly certain it is walnut.

 

No marks at all, just the wooden pivot mechanism underneath.

No markings, just the wooden pivot mechanism underneath. Having difficulty uploading additional pictures due to file size.

 

What Verybrad said. A walnut game table, I’d say late Renaissance Revival ca. 1880s. Very well taken care of!

 

With a chalice finial! (As Alexander Pope said... "A little learning is a dangerous thing")
