This handsome games table is constructed with a two-board solid mahogany top with a molded edge. The conforming apron is faced with crotch mahogany veneers and a beaded edge. The front and sides of the apron are framed with brass line inlays. The corners of the apron are executed with curved blocks with horizontal fluting. Four reeded support uprights taper as they rise to join the top. They attach to rectangular plinths joined by a beautifully carved and turned stretcher.
