It is worth highlighting the complexity of the marquetry drawing based on floral motifs inserted in a large oval medallion.

The entire edge of the top is covered with a brass molding that protects the wood from impacts. The table is richly decorated with gilded bronze applications with rococo-style plant reliefs on the waist and legs.

This small piece of furniture, so aesthetic and functional, has a shelf at mid-height that, in addition to serving as a shelf, gives consistency to its thin and elongated cabriole legs.

It is ideal as auxiliary furniture in both living rooms and bedrooms, providing an air of sophistication. See less
