A refined mid-20th century mahogany table, cleverly designed to function both as an elegant games table and a versatile sofa table. The rectangular top is inlaid with a chessboard and opens to reveal a fitted backgammon interior, with further storage provided by discreet drawers to the frieze.
The table is finished in beautifully figured mahogany veneers with fine stringing and a decorative oval floral medallion to the centre, showcasing the rich colour and grain typical of quality mid-century cabinetmaking. It stands on graceful lyre-shaped supports united by a turned stretcher, giving the piece a balanced and architectural presence.
Equally suited to use behind a sofa, as a centre table, or as a dedicated games table, this is a highly practical yet decorative piece that sits comfortably in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
