The base is embellished with elegant gilded brass decorative elements depicting sturgeons (or stylized dolphins) typical of Neoclassical and Empire styles. The table is topped by a large circular onyx top in warm, amber tones, featuring striking natural grain.

Condition and details:
The table appears structurally solid, but shows obvious signs of age and use, concentrated primarily on the top. There are scattered superficial scratches on the stone polish and some chipping/loss along the outer edge, as shown in the detailed images. The wooden base and bronzes feature a natural patina and minor signs of wear consistent with their age.
