About this work

Table top made of walnut. The sides are vase-shaped and decorated with turned knobs, with a standing acanthus leaf in the center. Above this, on a sand-ground, a beaded necklace hanging from a ring, ending in chalices. The rail has profiled fields and on the front a sliding drawer with two turned knobs. The top closes with clamps over the side rails. The sides are connected under the rails by a spindle, scalloped on the underside.
