Description from the seller
Elegant Victorian-Style Walnut Desk/Game Table with Green Felt Top
Description:
In the auction, a refined example of marquetry craftsmanship: a flat desk (bureau plat) in Victorian style, excellent also as a game table. The piece is made of premium solid walnut and veneered wood, characterized by a warm amber tone and a rich grain.
Key Features:
Top: The upper surface is elegantly inset and covered with high-quality green felt, perfect for use as a game table (cards, chess) or as a writing blotter. The felt is bordered by a profiled walnut frame.
Drawers: The strip under the top houses two functional drawers (one on each long side). Each drawer is ornamented with two cast brass knobs of circular shape, finely worked. As visible from the detailed photos, one of the drawers retains its original brass lock with a slotted key (functional).
Support: The table rests on four sturdy turned baluster legs, typical of the Victorian style, which provide stability and formal elegance.
Construction: The drawers feature dovetail joints, evidence of quality craftsmanship. The bottom of the drawer and interior parts are solid wood.
Condition:
The piece is in good overall vintage condition. Structurally sound and stable. Shows normal and light signs of wear related to age and use, which enhance its charm and authenticity (small superficial scratches on the wood’s finish). A slight natural crack in the wood is noted on the inner bottom of one drawer, which does not affect functionality. The green felt is clean and free of significant tears.
