This profusely inlaid Levantine games table dates from Circa 1900, and has multiple geometric and asymmetric inlays of various specimen woods
The hinged lid opens to reveal a similarly inlaid interior and a removable reversible top with emerald green baize on one side and a chessboard on the other. This can be removed to reveal the stunning inset backgammon table below.
The whole top swivels to reveal a space that can be used to store cards and game pieces. The table is raised on four shaped legs united by a wide inlaid stretcher, which has a platform centre. It is a very pretty decorative piece.
The table is exquisitely crafted in hardwood and features wonderful inlaid decoration comprising ebony, bone, walnut and various fruitwoods.
