Pamono Late 19th Century Game Table in Louis XVI Style Best

This rectangular table has a double tray whose top is in veneer arranged in eighty. The periphery is assembled with tab cutting. This part is embellished with light and tinted marquetries, representing leaves, branches and flowers, and underlined by two nets. The ridge is dressed in a quarter -round brass wand.
This tray is sliding. One of the parts, on brass hinges, gets up, in order to develop completely and rest on the open drawer. Thus unfolded, this table offers a large playground, with tender green felt, surrounded by a braid. The perimeter of this panel is tab cutting and has two nets.
Placing belts, arranged in butterfly wings, are marked with compositions in the same spirit and underlined by a brass molding with the ridge. There is, on the side, a drawer equipped with an original functional lock with key and encrusted input. It unveils two felted spaces, printed with a tric-trac game, and three tokens.
This piece of furniture rests on four massive feet turned, with arrested grooves, equipped with brass rings in the upper part, and ending with ball hooves.
This system table offers many game possibilities and, once open, a large number of participants.
