Germany or perhaps Vienna 1795 - 1810; circle of influence of David Roetgen. Very rare and admirable mechanical-transformable gaming table. Also as a writing desk or console table. Masterpiece of high-quality cabinetmaking, of absolute integrity, expertly veneered in mahogany feathering, interior in satinwood with sliding top that still retains its original leather. Finished with shellac applied with a pad using museum-standard technique. A brilliant mobile mechanism allows the extraction of the front, "revealing" the secret compartment with drawers and sliding top. The top opens like a book and is veneered in mahogany burl even on the underside. Decorative details and brass inserts, as also used in David Roetgen's furniture. Shellac polished with a pad with a museum-standard finish on the original patina and absolute integrity. Measures cm. 94 wide, 46.5 deep when closed (93 the top open like a book), 81 high. Refined, elegant and sober period furniture with a warm patina, perfect for combining with high-end modern furniture in an ensemble of great elegance and prestige.
