On top, the Languedoc red marble is a rich oxblood color with patches of gray and streaks of white throughout, finished to a sloping edge that is comfortable and inviting if used as a small desk. The base is made of solid birch with beautiful curling present that shows movement in natural lighting. The apron is shaped by little swells in a simple design to echo the table’s cabriole legs. In the apron are two shallow drawers: perfect for storing pens, paper, and other writing implements. The cabriole legs are slender and graceful, their shapely figure terminating in carved hoof feet. While technically designed as a writing desk, this antique table could be any type of side table, occasional or console table to suite one's needs and décor.
