The top features rich burr walnut veneer with a marquetry chess/checkers board that flips to reveal an inlaid backgammon board. Legs and drawer fronts are inlaid with a matrix of authentic semiprecious stones—azurite, malachite, chrysocolla, and lapis—each panel framed in sculpted antiqued brass trim for added depth and contrast.

An extraordinary showcase of artistry and sophistication, this handcrafted table is designed for the discerning collector. Two drawers (plus two faux) are adorned with solid brass laurel and fist drop-ring pulls, and the carved, stone-paneled legs are united by a sculptural X-stretcher base. From the Original Empire Collection by Theodore Alexander. Circa 2013.

A set of handcrafted marble chess pieces from the Grand Moroccan Bazaar accompanies the table. Their rounded, sculptural forms echo the table’s refined aesthetic, and wooden backgammon pieces complete the set.

Dimensions: 38"W x 27"D x 30.5"H
