In Victorian Britain, social culture flourished among the upper class, and numerous pieces of furniture were produced specifically for playing card and board games. This piece is a precious testament to the refined entertainment culture of that era. Mahogany has been prized as a representative material for British luxury furniture since the 18th century, characterized by its durability, beautiful grain, and deep patina that develops with age. The black lacquered tabletop is decorated with gold-painted geometric patterns, evoking a Japonisme influence from Eastern lacquerware. Lifting the tabletop reveals a crimson felt-covered playing surface, a practical design that facilitates smooth handling of cards and chips. A drawer-style storage compartment also provides organized storage for playing cards, chips, score sheets, and more. The delicately carved base adds a touch of elegance to the tabletop's solid appearance. Brass casters allow for easy mobility, and when not in use, the table can be folded up for practical wall storage.
