need info on antique chess/game table made in victorian period,inlayed tudor rose,solid walnut carved,eng oak?
I recently found a piece that is simply brilliant and I would like to get a response from the art world. The piece is a Victorian chess/game table roughly 1850-1855. It is a table for two. I was quite astonished by this piece beacuse of the detailing. It is solid walnut carved, inlayed English Oak, with hand carved Tudor Roses inlayed throughout the table and legs. The legs are four joined at the bottom with a nice center piece in the middle. Would like to receive as much information on this piece as possible.
