It is inset with a handsome blue leather writing surface, creating an attractive contrast against the rich tones of the surrounding mahogany while providing a practical surface for writing or display. Beautiful carved detailing throughout reflects the decorative influence of Victorian furniture and adds considerable visual interest to the design. The table stands on graceful cabriole legs, which complement the shaped top and enhance its elegant proportions. The legs are united by a decorative shaped stretcher, providing additional structural support while contributing further detail to the overall composition.

It could serve as a side table, lamp table, occasional table or decorative accent piece and is especially practical for positioning within a corner or alongside seating. Presented in good vintage condition, with appropriate signs of age and historic use consistent with its 20th-century origin.
