18th Century American Empire Mahogany Parlor / Game Table with Flip Top

American Empire matchbook flame mahogany game or parlor table, circa mid-1700s. Features a hinged top concealing a hidden compartment which flips over to create a larger, square surface. Top is supported by a pedestal base with scroll feet and original, wooden caster wheels (unique detail, indicative of the age). Additionally, all steel components appear to be hand hammered, further suggesting origins as far back as the 1700s. Conservative restoration was employed to even the wood tone. Moderate, age-commensurate wear remains (surface and base scuffs, one white discoloration spot, an old surface veneer sliver repair, etc).
