Circa 1860, Victorian Amaranth kingwood, parquetry and marquetry fold over games table.

The table opens and is lined in green baize playing surface and has other various inlays. The back legs are on a mechanism which pulls out to reveal a drawer. When full opened, sections beneath the sides come out to reveal a continuous apron with marquetry throughout. This telescopic mechanism folds away neatly when the table is not in use.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
