French Marquetry Gueridon Games Table with Reversible Chessboard Top

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A French marquetry gueridon games table, its round removable top reversing from a marquetry face to an inlaid chessboard, with a baize surface beneath for cards. A single locking drawer sits in the chevron-veneered frieze, and the whole rises on square tapered legs finished in brass toes. Games tables of this ingenuity were made to move about the salon, serving as a lamp or side table by day and a chess or card table by night, and this one keeps every part of that double life intact. The marquetry has mellowed to a warm honeyed glow. The drawer locks properly and the top lifts and reverses as intended, with wear consistent with age and use.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
