Features:
• Gorgeous bookmatched burl walnut chess/checkers board inlaid top that lifts/slides to reveal a fully painted backgammon board underneath
• Hand-tooled embossed leather playing surface in black with copper/gold metallic mottling (classic Maitland-Smith tortoiseshell look)
• Built-in brass-lined cup holders (perfect for drinks while you play)
• Four small side drawers that pull out to store game pieces
• Includes complete set of weighted chess pieces (stored in the drawers)
• Elegant Regency-style pedestal base with sweeping cabriole legs and carved details
• Rich mahogany-toned finish with beautiful flame figuring on the edges
This table is incredibly versatile — chess or checkers on top, flip the panel for backgammon, and cocktails. It’s the ultimate statement games table that looks like fine antique furniture when closed.
Condition: Very good vintage condition with honest signs of age and use. The leather has some flaking and wear (very common on these 30-40 year old pieces — it’s purely cosmetic and adds patina). Wood is excellent, no cracks or major damage. Structurally rock solid and ready to use. See less
