The top and base are entirely veneered in burl elm, displaying the richly figured and nuanced grain characteristic of the wood, with beautiful tonal variations ranging from honey to deep brown. The carefully matched veneer work highlights the natural patterns of the material in a decorative spirit typical of 1970s design.

Architectural and sculptural in presence, the piece perfectly captures the sophisticated materiality associated with high-end European interiors of the period.

The table shows some localized veneer wear, including minor losses, lifting at the edges, and natural wood cracking consistent with age and use, without affecting the structural integrity of the piece.
