Help identifying chess table

Hi there. This is my 3rd attempt at posting photos of my chess table so hope it works!

Hubby bought me a small chess table which was described by seller as Victorian chess table, mahogany and walnut.

I am trying to find out more about it and been googling away for days but cant find one like it anywhere. I am based in the UK.

I'm interested in it's age as I'm not sure it is Victorian, maker (there are no makers mark's anywhere) and any information whatsoever.

Top front face of cabinet has a pawn design although maybe I'm just assuming they are pawns and it's something else entirely. The top flips open to reveal chess board and the two wings are supported by sliders that you pull out to rest sides on. Inside the cabinet section is quite rough apart from the bottom which is smooth. There are also 2 wooden brackets which would have held a shelf in place this is missing.

Thanks for any advice, ideas all comments welcome.

Some might even have a manufacturer label or logo stamped or carved somewhere in the piece if it was a mass produced piece of furniture. If not it was maybe a custom made chess table.

Oh thanks so much for comments everyone. I ended up joining a Facebook antique forum and got very useful information from them.

They told me it may be a marriage of 2 pieces. The top is definitely Victorian as they were able to identify hand made nails in hinges. They believe the bottom to be an Edwardian bedside table and the two pieces put together. What I thought was a pawn design are actually arch engravings which were common in that period.

It's walnut and mahogany and been given advice on how to care for the wood. Must admit to being a little worried about using it as the chess board is beautiful.

I do have a modern chess board I can use instead so maybe will just occasionally use.

Got an Antiques Roadshow coming your way?

Theendgame3 maybe you could send me the link to the ikea table.

Oh right I see endgame. Silly me, you are just being rude and quite childish.

It's obvious to anyone this is not an ikea table. I'd like to understand why you wish to attack and upset me. Maybe you could explain.

It didn't come across that way and if it was a joke you should have made it clear which you didn't!

You should take more care how your posts come across.

It's an interesting table, Snow. I don't think using it for games would harm it due to the fact our chess pieces are felted on the bottom. And yes, it would be fun to see you appear on the Antique Road Show.
