Description

A very rare japanned Regency games table raised on lyre supports and standing on a shaped canted corner base, terminating with ball feet and the original castors, including a central castor under the base. The top of this antique table is painted with blossoms, vines and foliage and the frieze is painted in the same style with traditional oriental scenes within a cartouche on the corners. The folding top opens to reveal a chess board within oriental and floral borders. The decoration continues on the lyre supports and base, an indication of the quality of this piece. The table is in good condition, there is some slight wear to the top, but this is not detrimental(please see photos for a detailed view) , the decoration is generally in good order, you would expect some wear and marks on a table that has been in use for over 200 years. The inside decoration is in excellent order. The stability of the table is very good, standing firmly with no wobbles. This is a rare and beautiful table, a superb example of the style and elegance of the Regency period.
