A fine Victorian burr walnut and inlaid chess table of elegant scalloped form. The beautifully figured walnut top features a central inlaid chessboard with alternating squares of satinwood and ebonised veneers bordered by fine marquetry scrollwork and oval cartouches.
The top is supported on a finely carved turned column with acanthus leaf detail leading to a triform base with bold, scrolling legs of rich colour and patina. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and decorative form are characteristic of quality mid-19th-century cabinetmaking.
