Carl Forslund Cherry Flip-Top Game Table Lyre Base
A cherrywood flip-top game table attributed to Carl Forslund of Quaint American Furniture Co., Grand Rapids. This piece features a classic lyre-form pedestal base with a turned finial and scrolled feet, paired with a serpentine-edged top that swivels and opens to double its surface. The design draws from Early Victorian and Duncan Phyfe influences, executed in solid wood with a warm cherry finish.
Both decorative and functional, the table serves as a compact console or side table and expands for games or entertaining. Forslund pieces are known for their quality craftsmanship and revival styling, making this a desirable example for collectors and traditional interiors.
Condition:
In good condition overall, with scuffing, finish wear, and areas of finish loss consistent with use. Moderate wear is present to the top when opened, along with scuffs to the feet and a small approximately 0.5" ink stain on the apron. Structurally sound and sturdy, with smooth swivel and flip-top operation.
Dimensions:
Closed: 29.5 x 26 x 12.75 inches
Open: 29 x 26 x 25.5 inches
