Description from the seller
Antique Walnut Gaming Table with Flip Top and Green Felt – 19th Century
We offer at auction this fascinating antique walnut gaming table, dating from the 19th century, a piece of great elegance and functionality that will add a touch of class to any setting.
Key features:
Pedestal Design: The table features a single faceted pillar base, resting on a crutch base with lion’s paw-style feet, ensuring stability and a solid design. This structure allows excellent freedom of movement for players.
Flip Top: The upper surface, originally a glossy walnut surface, can be easily flipped to reveal a second playing surface.
Green Felt Playing Surface: The playing surface is covered with bright green felt, still vibrant, framed by a glossy walnut edge with internal metal hinges (see detail in the collage image). This design makes it ideal for cards, chess, or other tabletop games.
Hidden Drawer/Compartment: Under the top surface there is an integrated sliding drawer/compartment (see detail), perfect for storing decks of cards, chips, or other gaming accessories.
Conditions: The table is in overall excellent condition for its age. The walnut wood has a warm, rich patina, with normal and expected signs of use for an antique piece, which enhance its authenticity. The flip mechanism works. The green felt is well preserved.
Technical Details:
Material: Solid Walnut, Felt, Metal (hinges).
Period: 19th Century (Restoration / Louis-Philippe Era).
This table is not just a functional piece of furniture, but also a historical item that tells stories of past leisure activities. It is perfect both as a gaming table and as an accent table in a refined living room or study.
