About the Item

This unique late 20th-century Louis XVI style card table blends elegance with versatility. The reversible top offers two distinct playing surfaces: one side features trompe l'œil painting depicting playing cards surrounding a chessboard, while the other side is covered in felt for a more traditional gaming experience. Removing the top reveals a beautifully decorated surface above two functional drawers, adding both aesthetic appeal and storage convenience. The table stands on classic fluted legs with brass mounts, embodying the refined craftsmanship and neoclassical elegance of the Louis XVI style. This piece was crafted by Nininger & Co in Waterbury, CT, known for finest quality unique furniture. Hand painted and one of only 2 produced! Designed for chess, backgammon, and card games, this piece is a functional statement of timeless sophistication. In excellent condition, it makes a perfect addition to any gaming room, study, or collector’s space.
