<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 4303964, member: 5170&quot;]So a few more weeks of part-time research have yielded a few things: As mentioned earlier, the tapestry is a reproduction ca. 1905 of a 1901 painting by Austrian Hans Zatzka sometimes called &quot;Cupid and the Swing of Love.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found a few rococo revival game tables since then, and all of them had baize or velvet game surfaces surrounded by burl. I&#039;ve since determined that the burl around the tapestry on my table is rosewood; in fact, the top surface is rosewood that has been somewhat &quot;alligatored&quot; by long-term exposure to radiant heat. </p><p><br /></p><p>So the top is rosewood. That&#039;s a bit more &quot;Belteresque&quot; than before. I&#039;ve searched the internet, but can&#039;t find out who the world expert is on Belter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
