A fabulous display of carved garlands, complete with bow-tied accents, adorns the underside of the apron as a draped skirt about the front and sides. The table is presented upon four rounded and fluted legs, with decorative bulb-carved knees at top and ankles wrapped in carved acanthus leaves below, tapering gently towards their feet. The gold finish has some trace areas with red showing through from beneath. The bleu turquin marble top, derived from Italian quarries, has a luxurious soft grey/blue color.
