Dutch Marquetry Inlaid Game Table with Leather Interior, Late 18th Century

About the Item

A beautifully preserved Dutch marquetry game table from the late 18th century, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship, intelligent design, and the refined botanical aesthetics characteristic of the period. The table’s exterior is richly adorned with intricate floral marquetry in contrasting fruitwoods set into a mahogany veneer. Delicate vines, blossoms, and foliate scrolls dance across the apron, sides, and top, each motif hand-cut and carefully inlaid to create a lyrical, natural rhythm that reflects the Dutch mastery of floral symbolism and ornamentation. The tapered square legs are similarly decorated, with fine line inlays and vertical reserves of tulip-shaped motifs. The table opens with a swivel action to reveal a green leather playing surface bordered by a gilded tooled trim, offering a graceful transformation from elegant console to functional game table. Beneath the hinged top lies a storage compartment, likely used to hold playing cards, counters, or dice. The piece remains structurally sound and aesthetically untouched, with a soft patina that enhances both wood and marquetry. Every inch of this table embodies the precision and elegance of 18th-century Dutch cabinetry, where function and artistry were seamlessly married. Ideal as a games table, writing table, or a decorative accent in a salon, study, or intimate corner, this piece balances whimsy and refinement with grace.
