| A rare George II game table, walnut, c. 1727, the beginning of the reign of King George in Great Britain. It is all original, with a somewhat straight Dutch foot, square tray corners for the candles and four pockets for the chips. There are two original brass pulls on the drawer which has a slight crack in the bottom. Original finish. 29 3/4" across front at widest point, 14 1/4" deep, and 28 1/4" high. A rare table with trays for the candles. Condition is excellent. It does have a very tight, fine crack as shown in picture 6 but one does not see that unless examining very, very closely. The picture makes the crack look much worse than it is. Paul Whitefield in his article in the Los Angeles Times 3/5/2005 ,” Manufacturers Bring High Style to Game Tables” tells us that today manufacturers must offer stylish game tables that blend with upscale furnishings. Please note his information about prices in the following direct quote. “Although the company's pieces cost less than the actual antiques, they're not aimed at the casual customer. For example, a George II walnut folding game table, 36 by 36 inches, retails for $6,600, and a similar-size George III octagon-shaped mahogany table runs $7,650.” The antique game table being offered to you in this listing is less and it will appreciate in value because it is an antique piece. | ||
