grin A very nice item

from a "club" not a "cercle". It was a fine line between legal and illegal those days.
All the credit to John on this one. Nice work!!

To be more specific after research:
-founded 1869 at rue Meyerbeer Paris France
-closed in the war 1870-1871 (debt of 1 million francs !!)
-reopened 1879 rue Vivienne (32/ 33 and 36 are found in the newspapers which was not uncommon in that time)
-closed 1880 due to, well the house was cheating vbg (keeping 2000 FF/ day for personal use)
-closed for good 1884-11 (legally)

So the mother of pearl is from between 1879-1884 and was only a small time in use on these Paris tables.
Enjoy.
