This elegant Italian games table showcases traditional Sorrento marquetry craftsmanship, with a finely inlaid chessboard forming the upper surface. The proportions are graceful and refined, allowing the table to sit comfortably as a decorative piece while concealing its true purpose.
 
The chessboard top lifts away to reveal a beautifully designed multi-game interior, comprising a backgammon board, a roulette wheel and a felt-lined card table. Designed for both display and use, the table transitions effortlessly from a refined occasional table into a fully functional games table, making it ideal for a study, library or entertaining space.
