The circular top is designed as a removable tray, finished in a warm golden tone with a subtly figured surface designed to look like wood grain. This is framed by a dark rim and delicately bordered with a decorative frieze. This contrast lends the piece a sophisticated, almost neoclassical character while remaining firmly within a mid-century aesthetic.

The base is formed from slender blackened metal supports that cross in a tripod configuration, terminating in small brass sabots. At the center, a brass ring detail unites the structure, adding both visual interest and a practical grip point for folding or carrying. The interplay of black metal and brass creates a balanced, graphic quality.

Lightweight and versatile, the table can be easily folded and the tray removed for serving, making it both functional and decorative. It exemplifies the understated elegance and craftsmanship associated with French design of the period. See less
