Antique Consoles George III Various Wood Essences XIX Century

Pair of George III style wall tables that open to play, made in the Victorian era. The tables have four truncated pyramidal uprights of which the two rear ones, open like compasses, allow the support of the upper half top forming a round gaming table covered in green felt. The legs, like the bands and the tops, have a rosewood veneered border with fillets to outline reserves veneered in satinwood. In the reserves of the bands there are inlaid floral spiral and anthem motifs, on the tops they are repeated with festoons of bellflowers and a half rosette in the centre. The finely crafted inlays in various woods and stained maple create a strong chromatic effect, accentuated by the burin definitions; on the back of a small table there is a partially preserved label of a deposit or transport.
