Product Description
An interesting and early mid 16th century walnut games table with oval top hiding two sliding drawers over central turned column on triform shaped feet
one drawer being a later replacement
Italian, 16th Century
Probably from the Lombardy or Piedmont regions. It was common for games tables of this period to be lower than modern tables, even around 60cm high. Stools were built lower and the tables were made to suit lounge areas with low seating. The twelve counters in the coin slide drawer points to a games table, while hidden or sliding functional compartments were hallmarks of 16th and 17th Century furniture from Tuscany and Lombardy.
Its also too small to be a coin management or rent table and the drawers aren't lockable.
