Lot 1015
An 18th century oak cricket table, the patinated plank top with undertier on three tapering legs 67 x 70cm (26 x 27in) These three-legged tables with a circular top originated in the 17th century and although an earlier form of the game of cricket existed at this time, it is unlikely the table is named after the game. Far more likely is that it is a derivation of the word from the early 17th century for a three-legged stool, known as a “crackett”. Like the stool, the three-legged table was comparatively steadier on uneven ground and stone flag floors in the taverns, inns and cottages, although its use outdoors, to hold your beer whilst batting, has also been noted.

Lot 671
A mid-18th century mahogany and ebony games table, with fold-over action and inlaid with ivory squares and with end drawers, on shaped cabriole legs and carved feet, believed to be for the Turkish market and the Armenian game of 'Guni-Chah' 74 x 116 x 68cm (29 x 45 x 27in) Other Notes: This unusual mid-18th century ebony games table with foldover top was made in England; its provenance stating "for the Turkish market." The top veneered in small squares of yellowish ivory, with a pattern picked out in green squares, suggests it was used for Duni-Chah, an Armenian board game. Duni-Chah is Hindi for "a world of six" which may indicate a game of dice, now long forgotten. Finely crafted by an English joiner and of excellent quality, it has retained its interest despite the mystery surrounding its purpose.
