French Louis XVI Style Inlay & Ebonized Game Table

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
An elegant and refined Louis XVI style game table from 19th Century France. This outstanding antique table can serve multiple roles. It could be used as a console, center or occasional table, but one of the many things that makes this table special is its ability to convert into a felt-topped game table. The shaped and impeccably inlaid top is hinged and will unfold to double in size and reveal a green felt playing surface, ideal for cards, dominoes and other games. When opened, the table has dimensions: 29 ½” H x 39 ¼” W x 42 ½” D. The table’s drawer opens to provide support for the top when laid open. When closed, it can be locked using the one key present. The table’s top features inlaid brass and mother of pearl in a variety of motifs including birds, filigree, floral and foliate splays and flourishes and has been modified over time. The turned and tapered and fluted legs are ornamented with gilt brass and joined by a curved stretcher with decorative gilt brass urn finial. Take a closer look at our detailed images to admire the remarkable craftsmanship employed when making this outstanding antique.
