A GROUP OF THREE MAGICIAN'S PAINTED WOOD SIDE TABLES, FOURTH QUARTER 20TH CENTURY, each folds flat with a hinged rectangular blacktop on vertical hinged support and secured with codpins, comprising one of a cut-outline of a hand-painted and stenciled "Jack," from a deck of playing cards, height: 33 1/2", width: 16", depth: 12"; another with a large printed and applied Queen of Clubs card, height: 33 7/8", width: 20", depth: 14"; one possibly by Homer Hudson of Pasadena with a black felt covered top over a yellow-painted waved rectangular front, centering a painted white-faced green sinuous dragon with red flames spewing from his roaring jaws, fins, and the tip of his tail, height: 30 3/4", width: 20 1/4", depth: 14 1/4".

Each in good used condition with light wear on tops, loose trim, normal scuff marks, small minor scratches, edge nicks, and surface buildup throughout. The Queen of Clubs has some raised areas and the Joker table has a varnish that is slightly yellowing and showing evidence of the wood drying as it ages, even so, this is a nicely made table.  Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
