Admirable, intact game table with delicate polychrome inlays. Can also be used as a console table. Vienna, second half of the 18th century.

Austrian Empire, circa 1760 - 1780. Rare rococo game table, veneered (can also be used as a console table), mirrored and inlaid in walnut, burr walnut and walnut feather, with inlays in maple, tinted maple, and ebonized maple. Dimensions: Height 79 cm, 53x106 cm closed, 106x106 cm open. The refined piece, with the patina and construction technique of the second half of the eighteenth century, features stylistic elements attributable to both late rococo and early neoclassicism. See the lower decorative motif with baccellation and the delicate inlays on the top, made in segments with geometric motifs, together with the moving shape typical of the eighteenth century. Considering the executive and material qualities, it does not seem to be a provincial piece, where the introduction of new styles was sometimes expressed late, but rather an urban work likely created during the transition period between the two styles. In conditions of practical absolute integrity with a beautiful patina, French polished with shellac using a museum-standard technique.
