The table features a solid walnut top with a well-preserved surface and warm, time-softened patina. The remaining structure is veneered in thick walnut over a fir core, consistent with regional construction methods of the period.

The façade is fitted with a single belt drawer, framed by finely molded detailing that continues along the apron, adding architectural definition without excess ornamentation. The table stands on turned walnut legs, joined by a rectangular stretcher base that provides both stability and visual balance.
