Description:

The shaped burr walnut top has walnut banding encompassing exquisite floral marquetry decoration and a stunning gilt bronze border.
The hinged top opens to reveal a green baize-lined interior for playing cards. Sliding the top back reveals a compartment for writing, complete with an inset gold-toiled green leather writing surface and two inkwells. If you then lift the writing surface, you will reveal a dressing table with a compartmented birsdseye maple interior, complete with a mirror.

It stands on elegant cabriole legs with gilded ormolu mounts, and it is a superb and rare piece that is sure to get lots of attention wherever it is placed.

In excellent condition, having been beautifully cleaned, polished, and waxed, the baize was relined in our workshop.
