The frame has neoclassical carved rosettes on the corners and a central foliate swag motif panel in the center of the frieze. The apron is decorated with incised parcel gilt accents and borders. The table is supported by elegant tapered square legs ending with toupie feet. The walnut has a desirable distressed, aged patina with natural age and prior insect holes.
