Product description
The Ultimate Connoisseur’s "Casino" Table: This masterful piece of Italian craftsmanship from the 1960s is a versatile "mechanical" furniture marvel. Crafted in high-gloss mahogany and walnut, the table is a celebration of marquetry and inlay work, featuring intricate floral and geometric patterns that extend from the tabletop down to the tapered legs. Italian Marquetry (Intarsia): This table is a classic example of Sorrento Intarsia, a tradition of wood-inlay that dates back to the 15th century. By the 1960s, Italian makers perfected this "high-gloss" aesthetic, blending traditional woodworking with the playful, social spirit of the "Dolce Vita" era. The inclusion of a roulette wheel makes this a rarer variant of the more common chess-only tables. Three Layers of Gameplay: Designed for the ultimate entertainer, the table features a clever, multi-tiered reveal system: The Master Top: A stunningly inlaid, high-polish surface. Flip it over to reveal a hand-inlaid Backgammon board. The Second Tier: Beneath the top lies a hidden panel featuring a Chess/Checkerboard flanked by elegant green felt-lined side trays for game piece storage. The Grand Reveal: Removing the chess tier unveils a rare, expandable Roulette station. The table surface slides or folds out to a total width of 113 cm, revealing a professional-style roulette layout, a central Roulette Wheel (Spinner), and the original metal Roulette Balls (Pills) and chips. Condition & Restoration Note: This table is in good vintage condition, retaining a brilliant, luster. Surface: The lacquered top shows minor, age-appropriate surface scratches and light wear on the edges consistent with 60+ years of use. Structure: Two legs are factory-fixed; two are removable. Note: One leg currently requires re-gluing to the frame to ensure full stability. Accessories: Includes original roulette balls and chips. (Chess and Backgammon pieces are not included). Dimensions: | Feature | Measurement | | Height (Full Layers) | 73 cm – 75 cm | | Width (Top Inlaid Topper) | 79 cm x 79 cm | | Width (Roulette Fully Open) | 113 cm | | Width (Roulette Closed) | 74 cm | | Leg Clearance (Floor to Underside) | 63 cm | | Distance Between Legs | 54 cm |
