About the Item

Game table, France, circa 1860, walnut veneer with rich floral inlays, fold-out design, playing surface with felt covering, fluted, tapered legs, brass accents, shellac finish Dimensions: Height 78 / 156 cm Width 93.5 cm Depth 54 cm With the emergence of salon culture (18th and 19th centuries) in Europe, tables with folding tops became fashionable. Originally, they were elegant folding tables for the nobility, since they were seen as an expression of leisure and recreation, but also of power and hierarchy in courtly society. As purely luxury furniture, they offered carpenters and furniture makers ample opportunity to showcase their high level of craftsmanship in terms of decoration and technical sophistication. These often concealed compartments for chess or cards, and the tabletops were frequently covered with felt so that card games could be played on them. Later, elaborately painted Asian tables also became popular. Crating and white glove service available, please let us know your wishes.
