Description
Pair of George III style wall tables that open to play, made in the Victorian era. The tables have four truncated pyramidal uprights of which the two rear ones, open like compasses, allow the support of the upper half top forming a round gaming table covered in green felt. The legs, like the bands and the tops, have a rosewood veneered border with fillets to outline reserves veneered in satinwood. In the reserves of the bands there are inlaid floral spiral and anthem motifs, on the tops they are repeated with festoons of bellflowers and a half rosette in the centre. The finely crafted inlays in various woods and stained maple create a strong chromatic effect, accentuated by the burin definitions; on the back of a small table there is a partially preserved label of a deposit or transport.

19th Century / 1801 - 1900Main essence:
Maple
Hard, light wood used for inlays. It grows mainly in Austria, but it is widespread throughout the northern hemisphere, from Japan to North America, passing through China and Europe. It is one of the lightest woods ever, tending to white, it is similar to lime or birch wood. The briar is used in the production of ancient secretaires .Mahogany
It is one of the most precious and sought-after woods in cabinet making. It was discovered in Central America around 1600 and began to be imported to England in the 1700s. Much appreciated for its hardness and indestructibility, it became widespread following the blocking of walnut exports from France in 1720 and the consequent elimination of English import duties on mahogany from the colonies in America and India. The most valuable version comes from Cuba, but it became very expensive. At the end of the 18th century it began to be used also in France in Louis XVI, Directory and Empire furniture, its diffusion declined starting from when Napoleon, in 1810, forbade its import. It was generally used in the manufacture of elegant furniture, due to its characteristics and beautiful grain.Walnut
Walnut wood comes from the plant whose botanical name is juglans regia , probably originally from the East but very common in Europe. Light or dark brown in color, it is a hard wood with a beautiful grain, widely used in antique furniture. It was the main essence in Italy throughout the Renaissance and later had a good diffusion in Europe, especially in England, until the advent of mahogany. It was used for solid wood furniture and sometimes carvings and inlays, its only big limitation is that it suffers a lot from woodworm. In France it was widely used more than anything else in the provinces. In the second half of the eighteenth century its use decreased significantly because mahogany and other exotic woods were preferred.Rosewood
Under the term Rosewood various exotic, hard and heavy woods have been united, characterized by a color that varies from pink to violet. Their origin is usually from Latin America, India and Africa and are still considered very valuable woods. Until the end of the eighteenth century, this name also referred to the bois de violette . In general, rosewood woods began to be imported into Europe starting in 1750 and were first used for veneers and inlays in England, flanked, by contrast, with lighter woods. Later, entire valuable furniture was manufactured both in England, mainly in the Regency style, and in France, starting from the Neoclassical period.Satinwood
With the name silk wood, or bois de satin , or satinwood we identify some light woods, whose surface is shiny and silky, that is similar to silk, and for this reason they are very precious. They are exotic woods, which come either from the East Indies, with shades towards yellow-gold, or from the Western ones, with more red shades. They were first used in veneers, alongside darker woods, and, starting from 1820, also to build entire elegant furniture.Other customers have searched:
