Rosewood Games Table, Louis XVI Style - Late Nineteenth

This rectangular table has a double top whose top is in rosewood veneer arranged in four leaves. The perimeter is assembled with a miter cut. This part is embellished with inlays of light and tinted wood, representing leaves, branches and flowers, and underlined by two lemon tree fillets. The edge is covered with a quarter-round brass strip. This tray is sliding. One of the parts, on brass hinges, is raised, in order to develop completely and to rest on the open drawer. Thus unfolded, this table offers a large play area, with soft green felt, surrounded by braid. The perimeter of this panel is made of rosewood with miter cut and has two fillets. The veneer belts, arranged in butterfly wings, are inlaid with compositions in the same spirit and underlined by a brass molding at the edge. We find, on the side, a drawer equipped with an original functional lock with key and inlaid entry. It reveals two hushed spaces, printed with a backgammon game, and three token compartments. This piece of furniture rests on four solid turned feet, with stopped grooves, fitted with brass rings at the top, and ending in ball shoes. This system table offers many game possibilities and, once opened, a large number of participants.
