Regency Goncalo Alves Backgammon & Chess Table
About the Item
A Very Fine Quality Early 19th Century, Regency Period, Goncalo Alves Games Table, Having Superbly Figured Drop Flap Top, With Removable, Reversible, Sliding Top Inlaid With Chess Board, Enclosing Backgammon Board To Interior, Over One Frieze Drawer Retaining Original Turned Wooden Knobs Opposed By False Drawer To Reverse, Raised On Extremely Elegant Reeded Turned Legs And Original Brass Cup Castors.
There is much more to this lovely little table than one might initially realise. A very well thought out design, based around designs by Gillows of Lancaster, it serves as both a useful little lamp table, or small centre table, but also of course for its main purpose as a games table. There is both a chess board and a backgammon board included and should there be a need then the chess board can be taken and used elsewhere whilst the main table is in use for backgammon.
Constructed from wonderfully attractive and striking Goncalo Alves veneers, the table is superb quality in terms of both construction and the materials used. This is particularly highlighted by the cedar wood drawer linings, which is a feature often reserved for use in only the very best 19th century cabinet making workshops.
The games table also retains its original turned wooden knobs, which are significantly more elegant than can often be the case and still stands on its original brass castors. These are of substantial size and quality and are really quite lovely to look at, whilst also ensuring that the table is still very easily moved around into place.
As with all items which we offer for sale it has also been inspected by our highly skilled, traditional furniture restorers in our workshops to ensure it is in tip top condition and ready for immediate placement within the home before being put out on sale. It has also received a traditional, natural wax polish.
