A checkerboard-top game table, complete with modernist chess and checkers pieces. The geometric brass and chromed steel cladding is reminiscent of the design of Paul Evans, but this set appears to be one-of-a-kind, with its designer unknown. Circa 1970s-80s.

Two side drawers for checkers piece storage, and two end drawers for captured pieces. The table measures 24 1/4" x 32 1/4" x 32 1/4".

Condition

Scattered tarnish and wear. The underside of the table is covered in black acrylic that is slightly sagging, including a hairline crack at one corner.
