One of the most delicate and well-executed examples of the form this table is further distinguished by the survival of its original brown paint. Separated from its peers by the slim cabriole legs, think nakles and distinctive flattened pad feet, it is further embellished with rounded double-cyma aprons that are cut into the skirt in a diagonal fashion that results in a more successful aesthetic appearance than if alighned on a parallel similar to others of its type.
