An early 20th century Middle Eastern Moorish design fold over games table, with geometric inlaid decoration and with baize playing surface, chequer board and backgammon surfaces, raised on angled legs. Width 89 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The table is structurally sound. There are however numerous sections of the bone and specimen wood parquetry and marquetry missing. These are far too many to list. The particularly problematical areas are to the top surface and the bottom section of the legs. The front legs in particular have significant losses below the knees. The front sides and rear of the piece are in much better condition than the top, the rear is in similarly fairly good order. The interior is also in far better condition than the top but there are some areas of loss and the green baize surface requires replacing. The backgammon and chequerboard playing surface to the inner compartment is in fairly good order with no significant losses but there is some staining and liquid damage. The polish is also a little dry in places.

1-300 AD, Roman. Pair of Roman bone dice of differing size. The larger dice features a dot-in-circle pip design and the smaller dice a dot-in-two-circles design. Roman dice were used for a gaming and gambling on their own, or in combination with gaming pieces and boards for games such as Ludus Duodecim Scriptorum ('The game of twelve lines'), an ancestor of modern backgammon.

The large number of gaming boards, counters and dice found in Rome forts, for example, attest to the popularity of gaming and gambling to pass the time when soldiers were off duty.
