This elegant piece features graceful cabriole legs terminating in delicate scroll feet, with richly carved acanthus leaf motifs adorning each apron corner and leg knee.

The table retains its original hand-silvered mirror top, beautifully foxed over time, creating a softly mottled surface with layered patina that only a century of age can produce. The shaped perimeter molding echoes the curvilinear silhouette below, lending a refined, cohesive architectural presence.

The original painted and parcel-gilt finish has aged naturally, revealing warm undertones beneath a crackled surface patina — a highly desirable antique character finish that cannot be replicated. Areas of wear, losses, and surface distress are consistent with age and enhance the table’s authentic charm.

Perfectly scaled as a coffee table, cocktail table, or statement centerpiece, this piece works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors — equally at home in a romantic European salon or a modern layered living space. See less
