Gaming table with marquetry. Rosewood, mahogany, fruitwood, bronze, leather. 19th century. Table with four fluted legs with metal elements towards the top that has a delicate marquetry decoration (flowers, bows, plant elements) on the main front and on an outer band on the top board, an area in which another simpler geometric marquetry is presented. It has a large drawer, and can be opened to play, leaving a more resistant textile finish on the top. Stylistically, the influence of classicist models is clear in the piece, responding to the norms and tastes of Neoclassicism. This type of piece was relatively common in the interiors of the upper bourgeoisie, designed to be placed against a wall when not in use and to enhance the decorative function of the piece while taking up less space, thus promoting the functional aspect of the table.
