Catalogue Description:
Rococo in style, this table has a scalloped apron and top. Four drawers, two on each long side, and a single blind drawer at each end, are embellished with distinctive cross-hatching and pierced shell carving. Carved cabriole legs end in ball-and-claw feet with anklets, multiple toes, and tufts of hair at the heel.
