At first glance a compact and handsome side table, it opens to reveal interior storage—ideal for games, linens, or cards—while the top itself unfolds to provide an expanded surface, offering both practicality and a touch of theatre in its transformation.

The oak has acquired a rich and pleasing patina over time, its mellow surface a testament to years of use and care. The table stands on beautifully turned legs, well-proportioned and full of character, lending both stability and grace to the piece.

Hand selected in and imported from England, this game table is at once useful and decorative, a fine example of 19th century ingenuity in furniture making. Equally suited to play, storage, or occasional use, it brings with it the charm of both form and function.

The table closed measures 25"w x 18"d x 29.5"h and open fully measures 35.5"w x 18"d x 29.5"h. See less
