Antique Game Desk

Hello everyone, I have a desk but I couldn't identify its style or value. I belive its a good piece and its probably coming from early 19th century but I am not sure. So I wanna share some photos to get information :

 

Btw, i found very similar piece after 1 day search :

But still doesnt know its real value.

 

It seems that you have some beautiful and unique pieces of furniture. If I may ask,are these personally owned by you? Or maybe recently acquired? Or are they part of a salesroom or auction house stock or something?

 

that's interesting............

 

My father has an antique shop, I mean he is an antiquer and yes these are our antiques. Sometimes he is asking me to search some items on web. I am not antiquer, just embedded software engineer

 

I found this item and its price, if anyone want to learn details can look this site:

Thanks for that. Was really just wondering
Plus you are lucky,I often wished my family had an antique shop full of ‘treasures’..

 

Thanks

 

My advice to you is to install the Pinterest Chrome extension and to sign up for a free account on liveauctioneers.com to see what items have sold for at auction. For example, using Pinterest, in a few minutes I found many similar tables to establish some keywords, like Boulle, and Napolean III . Then went to liveauctioneers and searched using these keywords and "game table". This is one of the results, which sold at a New Orleans auction in 2015 for $4,000. Described as:

Napoleon III Rosewood and Boulle Games Table

late 19th century, the square top with decorative boulle-work banding surrounding a brass and faux tortoise chess board, above a conforming shaped frieze with boulle panels and corner ormolu maiden mounts, raised on cabriole legs ending in sabots.

 

Thanks for advices. I will use pinterest.

I don't think they are same item or website. The one I sent was an auction house in New Orleans. Of the two links you sent, the one for 950 euro was in Ireland and the other was in Italy.

 

Probably its not but it looks same. I mean details are literally same.

 

Another one like yours

 

but remember...these are auctions and prices can vary widely !!
Your market may be lower or higher..!

 

Indeed, what looks the same often isn't when you get down to the details.
