The top of the table features a beautiful oval shaped marquetry panel, with a stunning floral spray and satinwood string inlays.  The gracefully curved exterior lines have been finished with immaculate ormolu edging. Ormolu mounts also adorn the cabriole legs and are gilt and cast beautifully.

The table swivels open to a self supported square top, which reveals a fully felted green interior, perfect for that game of cards or checkers.
