The tabletop features a twelve-fold mirrored veneer pattern: twelve segments radiate towards the center, with each opposing pair mirrored. The grain thus creates a continuous, symmetrical star pattern across the entire surface.

The top is mounted on a swivel. The body contains three drawers and two side pull-outs, accessible from either side thanks to the swivel mechanism. The pull-outs are divided into compartments.

Three curved legs support the body and are held in place at the bottom by a triangular crossbar, the surface of which displays a triple-mirrored walnut veneer, echoing the tabletop's design on a smaller scale.

The table has been professionally restored, and the shellac finish has been renewed. The table is ready for use.
