Portable Card Table Appraisal

Vintage Folding Card Table and Chairs Set

This item is a vintage folding card table and four matching folding chairs, all finished in a uniform dark green color. The table features a square top with rounded corners, likely constructed from a wood or composite core with a vinyl or laminate surface, exhibiting a slight sheen. The edges of the table appear to be rimmed with a metal band, possibly chrome or painted steel, which also forms the structural frame and legs. The legs are designed to fold inwards for compact storage. Each of the four accompanying chairs consists of a metal frame, painted to match the table's dark green hue, with a seat and backrest upholstered in a coordinating dark green vinyl or faux leather material. The chairs are also designed to fold flat. Visible condition issues include some scuffing and wear on the vinyl surfaces of the chairs, particularly on the seats, suggesting regular use. There might be minor paint chips or scratches on the metal frames, consistent with their age and utilitarian purpose. The overall aesthetic points to a mid-20th century, possibly 1950s to 1970s, utilitarian design, commonly used for games, extra seating, or temporary dining. No specific manufacturer's marks or signatures are discernible from the provided image. The construction appears sturdy, indicative of mass-produced furniture designed for durability and portability.
