Description

This Dutch walnut flip top games table, circa 1800, is beautifully inlaid with marquetry of a central urn, scrolling acanthus, flowers and birds. The shaped reverse serpentine top opens to reveal a mahogany surface with inlaid playing cards and an oak interior of storage partitions, supported by a gateleg when raised. Raised on cabriole legs with carved shells and ball and claw feet, it shows areas of restoration to the marquetry on the top surface and has been recently re-polished by hand in our workshop.
