This antique wooden folding piece is a vintage games table mostly used for playing dominoes or card games. The six-hole circular pattern drilled directly into the center serves a crucial structural purpose. Because the table splits down the middle to fold entirely flat, these holes act as integrated finger grips. They allow you to safely grasp, pull upward, and collapse the table without pinching your fingers in the hinge mechanism They were popular in the 19th and early 20th century. When not used for games, they were used as plant stands or side tables.
