Victorian period game table in walnut wood, with a tric-trac game, a European variant of backgammon or royal boards, under the lid. It includes side drawers. The removable top also converts into a dice or card game board because of its green felt on one side. The table's structure is light and elegant, and is decorated with bone inlays that create a geometric rhythm. It rests on stipe legs topped by small wheels.
