Description from the seller
Antique Walnut Game Table with Flip Top and Green Felt – 19th Century
We offer at auction this fascinating antique walnut game table, dating from the 19th century, a piece of great elegance and practicality 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 trestle-style footing with lion-paw-style feet, ensuring stability and a solid look. This structure provides excellent freedom of movement for players.
Flip Top: The upper surface, originally a glossy walnut finish, can be easily flipped to reveal a second playing surface.
Game Surface in Green Felt: The playing surface is covered with bright green felt, still vibrant, framed by a polished walnut edge with internal metal hinges (see detail in 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 compartment/drawer (see detail), perfect for storing decks of cards, chips, or other gaming accessories.
Condition: The table is in overall excellent condition for its age. The walnut wood has a warm, rich patina, with normal signs of use expected for an antique piece, which enhance its authenticity. The tilting mechanism is functional. 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 only a functional piece of furniture but also a historic artifact that tells stories of past amusements. It is perfect both as a game table and as an accent table in a refined living room or study.
