Experts told me this very unusual table was most likely bespoke made for a game of cards enthusiast.
Elegantly crafted It is fashioned in Louis XVI style. 
The top and bottom tiers are shaped as hearts, they feature beautiful marquetry and trimmed with bronze trim. The top of the table is surrounded with bronze gallery. It opens up reviling a storage compartment possibly for card and dice (or anything else).  The table is 32'' high, 12 1/4" wide at the widest point, and 16" long at the longest point.
Fantastic present and a conversational piece!
