<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hallingdalen, post: 11562255, member: 93477&quot;]Thank you — I agree the general form aligns closely with Gustavian game tables, particularly in the proportions, lightness, and flip-top configuration. The comparison is very helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I’m slightly hesitant to interpret this piece strictly through a Swedish Gustavian lens. In a Norwegian context around 1800, similar forms often appear as multi-purpose work or writing tables rather than as specialized game tables in the continental sense. The use of mahogany and classical proportions reflects shared European neoclassical ideas, but these were frequently adapted locally with a more utilitarian intent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
