Catalogue Note
The legs, with full cuffs, are inlaid on two sides with chevrons, icicles and light and dark dots. The drawer is veneered and line inlaid at its edge. The top is line inlaid around its border and highlighted with inlaid quarter fans at the corners. The amount and placement of this inlay seems to indicate that the table was meant to be used with its leaves extended.
