Moroccan Inlaid Card Chess Backgammon Game Table 1950
About the Item
Vintage Moroccan Moorish Syrian Damascus style Inlaid Card, Chess, Backgammon, Games Table.
This profusely inlaid Moorish game table dates from circa 1950, and has multiple geometric and asymmetric inlays of various fruitwoods and shell.
An exquisite Islamic Moorish work of functional art, featuring very fine quality Islamic craftsmanship, exceptionally executed, the handcrafted Moorish table having a rectangular hinged lid flip-top profusely inlaid with intricate micro-mosaic geometric and asymmetric marquetry panels of various exotics including brilliant shell and precious woods.
The swivel top rotates to reveal an open interior storage compartment for game pieces, backgammon surface fitted with removable hinged lid box that opens to similarly inlaid interior with checkers board surface with reversible baize green felt cards table surface.
Includes scarce large 1.5" crisloid bakelite backgammon checkers dice set as well as a hand carved wooden chess set.
This can be removed to reveal the stunning inset backgammon table below.
It is a wonderful example of Syrian furniture and is a fabulous Moorish decorative piece when not in use.
The Moroccan Moorish style table is exquisitely crafted in hardwood and features stunning inlaid top showcasing lighter and darker inlaid woods alternating with mother of pearl.
Every side is decorated in the same manner, the table will therefore be able to float in a room and be seen from all angles. The ensemble is raised on four straight legs with protruding accents, connected to one another through with a central shelf.
With its clean lines and exquisite inlaid décor, this Moroccan center table with mother of pearl circa 1950 will make for a great focal point in any home, particularly placed in a living room.

North African, Moroccan, Middle Eastern, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and its people are known for many things, but chief among those perhaps is their culture’s long history of art and craftsmanship, particularly with regard to wood furniture in marquetry.
These functional pieces of art are often inlaid with shell, carved and hand painted designs and motifs, or sometimes a combination of other woods, known as mosaic wood.
