I believe those are called "knee shields" when on a table and you see them all the time on parlor tables from that era). Yours is a very nice one - they are kind of hard to find for sale, I've found. I see them all the time at shops, but they are usually "display only" (I'm looking for just the right one for my own mid-19th century parlor myself, but it needs to be true rococo revival to match the turtle-top center table and balloon back side chairs - for now, I'm making do with a black walnut 1880's affair which is plain enough to be 1850's appropriate, but I'm a total perfectionist. ;) ).
