Construction:
• Material: Solid hardwood—likely mahogany or walnut—with a deep, reddish-brown finish.
• Legs: Four turned and tapered legs, slightly splayed, give the piece a delicate stance. Each leg features gentle lathe detailing characteristic of early to mid-20th century craftsmanship.

• Shows traditional joinery and evidence of hand-worked assembly, as well as the caning’s understructure, which is neatly finished and secured in place.
