Characteristics

A fine antique Victorian games table crafted in walnut and satinwood, dating to circa 1880. The rectangular top features an inlaid chequerboard games board, framed with broad boxwood, ideal for chess, checkers, or draughts. Its simple fore edge and frieze highlight the elegance of late 19th-century design. The table stands on beautifully bobbin turned legs and stretcher. Would make a lovely side table in a drawing room, sitting room, bedroom, library etc. In lovely, sturdy condition, with a wonderful rich patina throughout.

Sustainability

The average piece of furniture generates approximately 47kg of carbon dioxide equivalents – roughly the same as burning 5.3 gallons of petrol. Buying this item second-hand versus a newly made equivalent recovers the energy used to make it, rather than generating further emissions and using new materials.
