The table top is a wide octagon with chamfered corners to complement the inlaid medallion of amboyna wood shaped as a stylized anthemion motif. Low-relief carvings around the perimeter echo the same anthemion reference, with evidence of parcel gilt to make them glow against the satin black ebonized finish, further outlined along the edge in gilt bronze egg and dart molding. The tabletop rises on four posts decorated as architectural columns (also filled with gold paint in the fluting) mounted on a flamboyant base with marquetry that repeats the inlaid anthemion as above. Four curved feet ending with square bronze rosettes are fitted with small casters for mobility. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.
