Description from the seller
Elegant Victorian-Style Walnut Desk/Game Table with Green Felt Top
Description:
In the auction, a refined example of cabinetmaking craftsmanship: a flat desk (bureau plat) in Victorian style, excellent also as a gaming table. The piece is made from premium solid walnut hardwood with veneer, characterized by a warm amber tone and rich grain.
Key Features:
Top: The upper surface is elegantly inlaid and clad with high-quality green felt, perfect for use as a gaming table (cards, chess) or as a writing pad. The felt is surrounded by a moulded walnut frame.
Drawers: The rail beneath the top houses two functional drawers (one on each long side). Each drawer is adorned with two circular, cast-brass knobs, finely worked. As visible in the detailed photos, one drawer retains its original brass lock fitted with a barrel key (operable).
Support: The table stands on four sturdy baluster-turned legs, typical of the Victorian style, which provide stability and formal elegance.
Construction: The drawers feature dovetail joints, a testament to quality craftsmanship. The drawer bottoms and internal parts are solid wood.
Conditions:
The piece is in generally vintage-good condition. Structurally solid and stable. It shows normal and slight signs of wear related to age and use, which enhance its charm and authenticity (small surface scratches on the wood’s polish). Note a light and natural crack in the wood on the inner bottom of one drawer, which does not affect functionality. The green felt is clean and free of significant tears.
