When raised, the leaves expand the surface area significantly, transforming the piece from a compact bedside accent or sofa side table into a spacious writing desk or occasional table.

It has two stacked drawers constructed with hand cut dovetail joints accented by original turned wood knobs. The upper cabinet sits atop a carved acanthus leaf pedestal column, resting on a quadraped platform base. The base terminates in oversized carved paw feet.

Whether positioned in a traditional bedroom as an stately nightstand, placed in an entryway, or utilized as a flexible side table in a living room, this historic piece adds striking texture and sophistication to any interior.
