Antique French Burr Walnut Marquetry Card / Writing / Dressing Table 19th C

This is a rare late 19th century antique French ormolu mounted metamorphic  burr walnut and floral marquetry card table, writing table and dressing table.

The shaped burr walnut top has walnut banding encompassing exquisite floral marquetry decoration and a stunning gilt bronze border.

The hinged top opens to reveal a green baize lined interior for playing cards. Sliding the top back reveals a compartment for writing, complete with an inset gold tooled green leather writing surface and two inkwells. If you then lift the writing surface you will reveal a dressing table with a compartmented birsdseye maple interior, complete with mirror.

It stands on elegant cabriole legs with gilded ormolu mounts  and it is a superb and rare piece which is sure to get lots of attention wherever it is placed.
