A DUTCH ORMOLU-MOUNTED TULIPWOOD PARQUETRY AND FRUITWOOD MARQUETRY GAMES TABLE

With its fine trellis marquetry and floral bouquets this unusual games table is typical for the oeuvre of the Hague cabinet maker Matthijs Horrix. In the 60's and 70's of the 18th century Horrix produced all manner of cabinet furniture in the French taste. Two encoignures with this decorative scheme are illustrated R.J. Baarsen, Aspecten van de Nederlandse meubelkunst in de tweede helft van de 18de eeuw, Alphen aan de Rijn, 1993, p. 97, pl 27 & 28.
