In 30+ years of searching,
we've never found another game table such as this. It is an 18c Dutch
inlaid triple-flip top game table and writing desk combo. Covered
overall in handlaid marquetry in multiple woods over a solid mahogany
base, stands on inlaid cabriole legs over slipper feet. One gateleg
swings out to support the game flip tops. Choice of either checkers or
chess tables, then a card table and finally a pop-up writing desk.
There's a folding bookstand in the desk and inside, 5 drawers under 5
cubbyholes, velvet writing surface.
Be not just the only one on your block but perhaps worldwide. The closest table we found in 20 years or searching was a double flip in Architectural Digest. This one originated from McBride's
Antiques of New Orleans in 1990 at a cost of $40, 375 in today's dollar. Truly
unique!
