Description
Circular center table with solid mahogany top, skirt laminated in three sections and likely made of pine. The exterior of the skirt is veneered in mahogany. Two cross braces attach the top and skirt to the center 12-faceted pillar, which sits on a disk. The pillar is off center, indicating that it has been reattached and/or repaired. Uneven oxidation on one of the cross braces confirms this. The base is veneered with mahogany and in the form of a platform supported by four C-scrolls, three with brass and iron casters that may be original, and the fourth on a wooden block, missing its caster.
