About this work

Sewing table made of coromandel wood with tin, blood coral, mahogany, red leather, and stained oak. The profiled legs, like the table rails, are inlaid with tin strips in a geometric pattern and connected at the bottom by a panel. The tabletop consists of two lids with a blood coral cabochon, relief carving, tin inlay, and features two butterflies with blood coral cabochons as handles. Beneath the top is a cabinet with a vaulted lower rail and openwork sides in red leather.
