AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent antique wooden gaming table / folding table from the 19th century (Biedermeier / Charles X style). This atmospheric piece of furniture combines elegance with functionality and is in a very beautiful, authentic condition.
The tabletop features attractive geometric marquetry/veneer in a warm wood tone. Thanks to the authentic recessed brass cylinder-pin hinge system (card table hinges) that sit perfectly flush with the wood, the top can be easily unfolded, creating a larger gaming or work surface (ideal as a card table, sidetable or compact dining table). The base features characteristic, richly turned legs that testify to pure craftsmanship. This piece is equipped with a smart twist-fold mechanism (twist-top). The top lid rotates smoothly a quarter turn on a central metal spindle at the underside, guided by authentic wooden stops.
Dimensions folded: 54.5 x 54.5 cm
Handmade (anonymous cabinetmaker / cabinetmaker from the 19th century). There is no factory mark, which at the time was standard for this type of unique quality furniture.
