About the Item

We are delighted to present this exquisite gaming table from the Napoleon III period, crafted in luxurious amboyna wood and fine marquetry. This elegant piece is a true testament to the refinement and exceptional craftsmanship of 19th-century French furniture. The table features a folding top, which opens to reveal a spacious and thoughtfully designed playing surface, making it both practical and visually striking. When closed, it presents a compact and refined silhouette; when opened, it transforms into a functional gaming table ideal for entertaining. The structure rests on finely sculpted ebonized wood legs, enhanced with delicate gilt details that add a subtle yet sophisticated touch of contrast and luxury. The richness of the amboyna veneer, known for its beautifully figured grain, further elevates the overall aesthetic. At the center of the tabletop, an intricate marquetry composition depicts a collection of musical instruments and decorative objects, executed with remarkable precision. This artistic detail reflects the decorative taste of the Napoleon III era, where craftsmanship and ornamentation were highly valued. The table is in good overall condition, with minor signs of wear consistent with age, adding to its authenticity and historical charm. Perfect for a living room, study, or reception space, this piece combines elegance and functionality, serving both as a decorative object and a usable table for games or gatherings.

French Game Table Napoleon III Period - Louis XV Style - 19th Century - France

French Game Table Napoleon III Period - Louis XV Style - 19th Century - France

Located in Beuzevillette, FR

Very nice game table on high legs style Louis XV from the Napoleon 3 period of the 19th century. The wood is finely inlaid with floral and vegetal motifs. The legs are curved, the tips of the legs are in metal, while metal decorations are present on the tops of the legs. The table opens to the depth and rotates to the length. The game board, once opened, is held in place by a drawer that opens on the right side (also serving as storage for the games). The table top measures 116cm (45.6 inch) x 58cm (22.8 inch) Very fine and sophisticated work, this table will give elegance to any type of interior decoration. The Louis XIV style is a furnishing style covering more or less the period of the reign of Louis XIV (1661 to 1715). This style is characterized by the majesty and richness of its furnishings. The Louis XIV style follows the Louis XIII style. The furniture is increasingly luxurious, but unlike previous styles, it is almost no longer inspired by architecture. There are two kinds of furniture: ceremonial furniture richly decorated with veneers and inlays (especially with André-Charles Boulle), solid giltwood and bourgeois furniture in solid wood. The style is characterized above all by its absolute symmetry and an important and ostentatious Dimension. The Louis XIV style is of Italian and ancient inspiration. The style emerged with the advent of the reign of Louis XIV in 1661 and lasted until the end of the 17th century. In 1690, on the death of Lebrun, decorator to the King, the style declined and was gradually replaced by the Regency style. The Palace of Versailles is obviously extremely and lastingly marked by the Louis XIV style. His long reign made it possible to impose the unique style of the Grand...
