The narrow table has a simple silhouette, crafted of elm with a rectangular top, waisted frame, two small drawers and straight legs. A beaded edge outlines the paneled frame and the drawers are affixed with elegant brass drop handles with plates shaped as eight-petal flowers. Minimal and understated, the table is darkened by a deep brown lacquer finish with subtle crazing and a great patina.
