About this work

Table of coromandel wood, inlaid with tin strips. The beaded square colonettes and the wide profiled central stiles of the base are connected by an H-profiled cross with concave side rails resting on a base. In the center, an openwork decorative piece is placed with two fish, closed with a rail. Below the rails under the oval top, a wave motif is applied. The veins of the wide central band and long side pieces of the top run in opposite directions.
