Description from the seller
French game table
Gorgeous chess table with fold-out leaves in a four-leaf clover shape.
Made of oak wood with inlays in mahogany.
A jewel of marquetry of French origin.
An antique in EXCELLENT CONDITION.
The table features a chessboard with a compartment hidden beneath for storing the chess pieces.
The table legs are richly decorated in the style of Solomonic columns, with a tassel in the center as well as a latticework beneath the leaves. The leaves of the table feature inlays in mahogany wood.
This refined piece combines functionality and art, offering a playing surface intricately decorated with inlays that enhance the natural beauty of oak and mahogany.
It measures 75 cm high, 75 cm deep (extended) and 75 cm wide.
The chess pieces are Staunton No. 5 wooden pieces in mahogany and light oak colors. The king is 8 cm tall and the pawn 4 cm.
The set is of great elegance. The backgammon and checkers pieces are also wooden.
In short, it is a magnificent set that will draw every eye, wherever it is.
The condition is excellent, as seen in the photographic report, with only very small signs of time passage.
It will be shipped in appropriate packaging to prevent damage during transport, via CATAWIKI's Smart Shipping service.
