This is a profusely inlaid Levantine compendium games table that dates from Circa 1880, and has multiple geometric and asymmetric inlays of various specimen woods.
The hinged lid opens to reveal a similarly inlaid interior and a fold over reversible top with emerald green baize on one side and a chess board on the other. This can be folded over the side to reveal the stunning inset backgammon table below. There are two secret compartments that slide out during game play, useful to store cards, chips. etc.
The whole top swivels to reveal a space which can be used to store cards and game pieces. The table is raised on four shaped legs and 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.
