This is a stunning 19th century antique French Louis XV Revival ormolu mounted king wood and floral marquetry shaped rectangular card table, circa 1870 in date.
The shaped top has banded marquetry inlay encompassing an exquisite floral marquetry bouquet of country flowers with musical instruments and a stunning gilt bronze border. The shaped frieze is profusely inlaid throughout with sprays of flowers, leafy stems and musical trophies.
It has decorative ormolu cast masque bosses to the sides and is raised on serpentine legs terminating in leafy ormolu sabots.
The hinged top opens to reveal a green baize lined interior for playing cards framed with equisite floral marquetry decoration.
It is a really superb piece which is sure to get lots of attention wherever it is placed.
