Here is an elegant antique Louis XVI style envelope folding game table, likely dating to circa 1890–1910, showcasing finely executed floral marquetry inlay and a classic envelope-opening top. The surface is adorned with delicate floral marquetry arranged in triangular panels, creating a beautifully balanced composition when closed. With a gentle turn of the top, a hidden wooden release mechanism raises one corner, allowing the table to unfold smoothly in classic “envelope” form. Once opened and rotated into place, it becomes stable and ready for use, revealing an olive green felt-lined playing surface framed by rich wood tones and brass campaign-style accents. I especially love the combination of beauty and function here—the intricate inlay work paired with such a clever, almost secretive opening mechanism makes this piece feel special every time it’s used. Additional features include a single drawer with inlaid detailing, turned legs with subtle carving, and a lower tier shelf in beautifully figured burled wood with gallery railing—perfect for storing games or display. The table rests on casters for ease of movement. A versatile and elegant piece that works beautifully as a side table when closed and transforms into a functional game table when entertaining. 32ʺW × 32ʺD × 29ʺH (open) 22.75ʺW × 22.75ʺD × 29.75ʺH (closed)
