Antique Edwardian Inlaid Folding Game Table %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
An exquisitely crafted Edwardian antique folding game/lamp table incorporating the traditional “Royal and Pleasant Game of Goose” — one of Europe’s earliest and most enduring board games.

The rectangular top is finely veneered in figured mahogany with satinwood crossbanding opening on brass hinges to reveal a beautifully inlaid and engraved Game of the Goose board. The spiral track of sixty-three numbered squares is composed of contrasting wood veneers engraved with the game’s characteristic symbols: geese, the bridge, the maze, the ale house, the prison, the well, and death.

Beneath the hinged top is a fitted interior compartment containing:

Two sets of turned wooden playing pieces (natural and ebonised),

A pair of antique dice, and

A handwritten parchment scroll of rules titled “Rules to be observed when playing the Royal and Pleasant Game of Goose.”

When closed, the surface displays an elegant marquetry motif centred by a circular floral medallion.
The table stands on square tapering legs terminating in block feet. This piece combines fine English cabinetmaking with the charm of period parlour entertainment — making it both a functional table and a conversation piece of considerable historical interest.

Condition:
Very good antique condition with light wear and a warm, even patina. Hinges, interior fittings, and inlay are intact playing pieces and rule scroll preserved.

Dimensions:
Height: 51 cm (20.08 in)
Width (closed): 48 cm (18.90 in)
Width (open): 96.5 cm (37.99 in)
Depth: 38.2 cm (15.04 in)
