F 2005.1Description
The rectangular work table with astragal ends and tambour sides stands on a turned pillar into which four legs are slotted. The veneered and hinged lid of conforming shape lifts to access the hinged writing board inside. A half-round tray divided into three pie-shaped compartments lifts out of the left side to an open well below. The right side removable tray is fitted for writing implements and opens to another well. Below the false drawer in front, a tambour slide opens to two mahogany trays. The turned pillar has a reeded drum below a flared column. The pillar stands on four reeded "sweep" legs ending in carved animal feet on casters. The tops of the legs are molded, and a wood collar separates the feet from the legs.Category
