Early 19th-century Sorente (italy) Marquetry Pedestal Table Forming A Chess Box
Artist: Sorente
A rare and beautiful chess box on a tripod pedestal table from Italy, richly inlaid with lemon and rosewood; entirely inlaid with a beautiful chessboard and finely ornamented border framing, the sides animated with characters depicting peasant scenes in finely carved lemon on a rosewood background; a charming curiosity with its top opening onto a clamshell box for storing the pawns, this living-room piece of a game table is graceful and precious in its rich early 19th-century decoration, a quality Italian import not devoid of charm and featuring a chessboard which is rather rare; a beautiful decorative and playful piece for long evenings with friends, this piece of furniture is easy to place and move, forming an ideal end of the sofa and allowing a lamp to be placed while waiting to play...
