The long, rectangular tabletop features a prominent natural grain and a rich, dark patina that suggests significant age and history. Supporting the table are two massive, pedestal-style legs, elaborately carved with scrolling cloud motifs at the base and intricate floral filigree along the uprights. The apron is punctuated by delicate bas-relief carvings of mythical creatures and geometric "endless knot" symbols at the corners, which represent longevity and harmony. Beneath the surface, the structural integrity is maintained by a series of hand-fitted cross-braces, showcasing a utilitarian yet elegant approach to joinery.
