Description from the seller
French Game Table
Gorgeous chess table with fold-out leafs in a four-leaf clover shape. Made in oak with inlays of mahogany wood. It is a jewel of marquetry of French origin. It is an antique in EXCELLENT condition.
The table features a chessboard beneath which there is a compartment to store the chess pieces.
The table legs are richly decorated like Solomonic columns, with a tassel in the center as well as a latticework under the leaves. The leaves of the table bear a decoration with mahogany inlays.
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 tall, 75 cm deep (extended) and 75 cm wide.
The chess pieces are wood, Staunton model 5 in mahogany color and a light oak. The King is 8 cm tall and the pawn 4 cm. The set is of great elegance.
The Backgammon and Checkers pieces are also wood.
All in all, it is a magnificent set, which will draw every eye, wherever it is placed.
The condition is excellent, as can be seen in the photographic report, with only very small signs of age.
It will be shipped in appropriate packaging to prevent damage during transport, via CATAWIKI’s Smart Shipping service.
