EUGÈNE PRINTZ
(1889-1948)GAME TABLE, c. 1935
Stamped E. PRINTZ signature, concealed beneath one element of the mounting.
Game table in walnut, raised on a base with moulded detailing on the inner faces, while the exterior is treated with flat planes, emphasizing the architectural clarity of the design.
The table features a double top clad in gilded brass, displaying the characteristic sponge-applied patina typical of the cabinetmaker’s work.
The lower top is square with chamfered corners and gently curved edges, supporting a slightly elevated circular upper top, secured by four wooden elements clad in oxidized gilded brass, acting as clamps.
The upper top is reversible; its underside reveals a walnut marquetry frame enclosing a tawny brown felt playing surface, combining refined craftsmanship with practical function.
