Work Table
Description
Two-drawer work table. Drawers have flame grained veneered center raised panels with two wooden mushroom shaped knobs and brass keyholes. The case sides are curved and terminate in tear drop finials. The case sits on a vase and bulbous shaped shaft sitting on a shaped base supported by lion paw feet with acanthus leaf enrichments. Casters are under all four feet. Original veneers are replaced on the top. Refinished. Current softer finish replaces the harder high-gloss original.
