The cylindrical shaft is built from thin, evenly spaced canes laid in a continuous diagonal spiral. The top is made of concentric rings of cane with a slightly dished centre and a stepped edge. The shaft stands on a wider, stepped round plinth, also in concentric rings. The finish is a warm honey tone with a light sheen.
At 74 cm high with a 67 cm top, it is considerably larger than the pedestal tables usually seen in pencil reed. It works as a side table, a console-height display table, or a base for sculpture or a large plant.

Good vintage condition, structurally sound. Minor wear consistent with age, including light scuffs on the top edge and plinth rim, a few small nicks to individual canes, and some slight colour variation.
