Crafted in a luminous satinwood or bird’s-eye maple veneer, the piece glows with a warm, honey-colored patina that beautifully highlights the natural chatoyancy of the wood.It has a grand, oval pivoting "cheval" mirror serves as the centerpiece, framed in book-matched veneer and accented with delicate ebony or dark wood floral marquetry inlays. The mirror is supported by scrolled corbels with intricate foliate carvings. The table features its original (or period-correct) white Carrara marble top, providing a cool, durable surface that contrasts elegantly with the warm wood tones. The single frieze drawer is decorated with a central neoclassical floral medallion and trailing husks. The table stands on an architectural trestle base, featuring square-tapered pillars joined by a graceful, sweeping curved stretcher. See less
