It has decorative ormolu cast masque bosses to the sides and is raised on serpentine legs terminating in leafy ormolu sabots.
The hinged top opens to reveal a green baize lined interior for playing cards framed with equisite floral marquetry decoration.
It is a really superb piece which is sure to get lots of attention wherever it is placed.
