Gilles Joubert JME (1689-1775) - Games table (2) - Side table, occasional table, fold-over table, games table - Cherry wood

Rare set of two side/playing tables in surprisingly beautiful condition.
Three slender, outward-swept typical Louis XV legs, of which one extendable leg supports the unfolded part of the top.
The shape is remarkable to name, asymmetrical; when opened, the two together form a diamond.
The green thick felt shows signs of wear and a few holes, not disruptive. (See photos)
Very high quality, beautiful patina.
Hand-polished with a carnauba wax finish.
Both pieces are stamped with ‘JOUBERT’, making the maker and period very precisely identifiable. (Pierre Kjellberg, Le mobilier Français du XVIII siècle)
