Ebonised Victorian Console & Games Table
 
A striking late 19th-century ebonised console table, dating to the aesthetic period roughly around 1875, which conceals a cleverly engineered transformation into a green baize games table. Hand crafted with exceptional attention to detail, the piece reflects the refined decorative sensibilities and functional ingenuity characteristic of the period.
The console presents beautifully balanced proportions and a sculptural silhouette, enhanced by a richly aged patina that has developed over time. When opened, it reveals a finely surfaced green baize playing area, designed for cards and games, making it both an elegant statement piece and a practical entertainment table.
Finished with original-style brass fixtures and fittings, the table retains a strong sense of authenticity and period character. It stands on delicate porcelain castors, allowing for ease of movement while maintaining its refined, furniture-of-status appearance.
A rare and highly desirable example of convertible Victorian-era design, combining craftsmanship, utility, and the distinctive aesthetic refinement of circa 1875.
