The frieze is fitted with discreet drawers mounted with ornate gilt-bronze escutcheons, while the table is raised on slender cabriole legs embellished with finely chased gilt-bronze mounts terminating in sabots. Executed in the Louis XV taste, the table displays elegant proportions and high-quality decorative detailing throughout. Dimensions Height 30.5 Inches Width 30 Inches Depth 18.5 Inches See less
