A Victorian American pedestal game table, dating to the late 19th century, constructed from walnut with a medium-to-dark reddish-brown finish. The square tabletop features an inlaid 8x8 checkerboard grid composed of alternating light and dark wood squares, surrounded by a dark wood border. The top is supported by a central turned pedestal stem with multiple decorative ring turnings and a bulbous mid-section. A distinctive feature is the threaded wooden screw-form section positioned above the tripod base, typical of adjustable height furniture from the period. The table stands on three ornate scroll-carved legs, each detailed with a pierced center and a raised circular boss.
