Syrian mosaic inlaid games table, 20th c., with geometric inlay of bone, contrasting hardwood, and mother of pearl accents, having stepped and hinged flip top, opening to reveal backgammon board, also enclosing removable hinged panels with inlaid checkers board on one side, reverse side felt-inset, rising on cabriole legs joined by medial shelf, accompained by some game pieces, closed: approx 27.5"h, 24 5/8"w, 12 3/8"d

03.08.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 1472: We believe the inlay to be done by hand, not in a singular sheet, I note that the table is presently intact and structurally sturdy, with the medial shelf and hinged panels appearing secure, the inset game surface remains taut, I observe scattered minor chips and hairlines to inlaid pieces, as well as some minor chips to wood elements, this wear is concentrated to the veneer along edges and corners and is commensurate with age and use
