Mahogany Game Console Table – 1920

This console presents itself as a true piece of ornamentation, with its mahogany top animated in the centre by delicate marquetry depicting a vase and its marquetry belt adorned with a floral garland. The decor, with a fluid continuity: the stylised flowers, leaves, and scrolls intertwine in a regular rhythm, creating a natural transition between the top and the legs. The legs, also marquetried, extend the decorative movement towards the ground; their elegant curves and luminous inlays give the console an airy appearance despite the richness of its ornamentation. When the table opens, the piece changes nature without losing its prestige: the top unfolds to reveal a new green felt, stretched with precision, offering an impeccable playing surface. This felt is surrounded by a leather trim, punctuated by a golden vignette that acts as a discreet signature, reminding us that the playful function of the table is set within a framework of absolute refinement. The whole then transforms into a complete gaming table, where the elegance of the furniture accompanies every gesture. reference 280726
