The marquetry includes intricately contoured and embellished frameworks around the centered focal point which are three unique floral bouquets on each side and in front. The heavy cast bronze bale pulls with rosette guards are accentuated by the bronze mounts on the shoulders and on the front feet, the latter of which terminate in lion's paw motif. Finely veined gray marble on top results in a carefree and color-neutral surface for you and your family to enjoy for generations to come!
