Tea table of oak and coromandel wood resting on four rounded, flat feet that rest on sliding caps. The feet are connected to each other by an H-shaped cross with a double crossbar within which a panel of coromandel wood is fitted. The space between the two side stiles is filled with two panels stacked vertically, which are openwork in pods within a bean motif. At the mid-height, an intermediate panel of coromandel wood is fitted, framed in oak. The intermediate panel is connected to the rail between the two feet by two angled supports. The top panel is connected to the feet by consoles on the underside. The top panel consists of an open framework with raised edges. Within this, a removable serving tray fits, consisting of three oak panels with strips of coromandel wood between them. The serving tray has raised edges on three sides. On the side edges, a copper handle is attached, which is openwork on the sides in a leaf motif.
