This 19th-century lacquered drop-leaf table is a stunning example of fine craftsmanship and oriental-inspired design. The richly decorated surface features intricate chinoiserie scenes, hand-painted in vibrant red, gold, and black lacquer, depicting pagodas, figures, and stylised dragons. The central rotating panel lifts and turns to reveal a reversible games surface, offering both a chess board and a backgammon interior, making it a versatile and highly collectible piece for gaming enthusiasts and antique lovers alike.
The table stands on an elegant turned column with “birdcage” support under the top, allowing smooth rotation. The tripod base is beautifully detailed with gilt decoration and finished with carved gilded paw feet.
This rare antique games table combines functionality with decorative appeal, perfect for a luxurious living room, library, or games room.
