This fine and elegant table opens with a drawer in the waist and rests on four high cambered legs with rocaille shoes. The top forms a desk with two side flaps revealing, on either side, two deep compartments.
The violet wood frieze, dominated by herringbone motifs, constitutes the main part of the decoration. We note the refinement of the cut of the belt in brace.
