The molded apron is detailed with raised floral swags and cartouche blocks; four turned legs are united by a full box stretcher for stability and a light, balanced profile. The top features a traditional woven cane panel protected by plate glass—visually airy, yet practical for daily use. Finished in a warm, cream paint with traces of gilt (parcel-gilt) along the carving, showing an attractive, even patina.

Construction & materials: solid wood frame; applied low-relief ornament to the apron; machine-woven cane inset; plate glass top (removable).

Period & origin: c. 1930–1940, Italy (Florence), in the Louis XVI / Neoclassical revival idiom often marketed in the inter-war years.

Condition: sturdy and level; cane intact; scattered wear to paint and gilding at high points consistent with age; minor surface marks to glass from use.

A versatile piece for an entry hall, behind a sofa, or as a dining server or boutique display. Its neoclassical lines, Florentine painted finish, and cane-and-glass top make it an easy fit with traditional, transitional, or Hollywood Regency interiors.
