Louis Philippe style chessboard game table with marquetry.
Louis-Philippe style drop-leaf game table, made of fruitwood (cherry), featuring a central top decorated with a two-tone checkerboard marquetry forming a chessboard, alternating light and dark woods (such as mahogany or rosewood). The two half-moon drop leaves, hinged with brass fittings, are adorned with walnut burl veneer enhanced with black wood inlays. The octagonal base beneath the top includes a drawer with an aged bronze knob, highlighted with black trim. The structure rests on turned legs connected by a turned central stretcher, with fluted saber legs. The piece has a uniform glossy finish, with no apparent wear, indicating excellent condition — most likely a piece from the early 20th century that has undergone careful restoration, or a fine reproduction in style. Dimensions: H. 68.5 cm × W. 98 cm × D. 44 cm — Weight: 10 kg. A functional and decorative piece, ideal for chess enthusiasts, Louis-Philippe furniture lovers, or classic bourgeois decor.
