About the Item

Victorian Renaissance Revival Flip-Top Game Table with Inlaid Chess & Backgammon, Fitted Glass Top, c. 1870–1890 Description An exceptional example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, this Victorian Renaissance Revival flip-top games table combines elegant form with versatile function.
