Vintage Mahogany Reversible Chess & Backgammon Games Table On Queen Anne Cabriole Legs

A charming vintage mahogany games table featuring a reversible top with inlaid chessboard and backgammon playing surfaces. The square case rests on four elegant Queen Anne–style cabriole legs with pad feet, joined by a gently scalloped apron that softens the silhouette. The chessboard side displays alternating light and dark squares bordered by double-line stringing, while the reverse reveals a finely inlaid backgammon layout with stylized points and circular counters, all executed in contrasting veneers.

The warm reddish-brown finish highlights the mahogany grain, with softly rounded corner lobes to the top adding a refined decorative note. The table opens or lifts to access the alternate game surface (or storage, depending on configuration), making it both functional and decorative—ideal for occasional use in a living room or library.
