F 76.9Description
The mahogany and mahogany veneer work table has a rectangular center section and astragal ends. The hinged top of conforming shape is veneered inside and out and has mahogany cross-banded edges. Rosewood banding outlines the perimeter of the top, the drawers, and the rectangular panels at each side. The top drawer is false; the back of the table has a false façade that duplicates the front. Inside, the table has a hinged and adjustable baize-covered writing surface and compartments for writing materials. A large square drawer, partially covered in front with pleated silk (formerly T 77.3), fits into the center of the table and is suspended on side runners. Reeded "sweep" legs are dovetailed into the bottom of the baluster-turned center shaft and terminate in short, vertical turned feet set into brass caster.Category
