About the Item

This exceptional 18th century Italian games table is a masterful example of neoclassical furniture craftsmanship, dating to circa 1780. Constructed from fine olivewood and rosewood, the table showcases intricate geometric marquetry and inlay work, highlighting the artisan skill and refined taste of the period. Its rectangular top, beautifully inlaid with parquetry patterns, opens to reveal a hidden games surface, offering both aesthetic beauty and functional versatility. Raised on slender, tapered legs, the table embodies the elegant proportions and classical simplicity of late 18th century Italian design. A small drawer at the side provides storage, perfect for playing pieces or cards, while the warm patina of the woods adds depth, history, and timeless appeal. This piece is not only a functional games table but also a stunning decorative accent that would complement both traditional and modern interiors. Collectors and connoisseurs of antique furniture will appreciate its authenticity, fine materials, and artistry. A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Italian olivewood and rosewood games table from the 18th century, this piece is as much a work of art as it is a testament to refined European craftsmanship.
