Description

Physical Description:

Small wooden table with a beveled table top. The legs consist of two attached pieces of wood with a center square cutout with rounded corners. The design element of rounded edges is reflected in the corners of the table tops.

This table has a rectangular table top with its brim rounded in four corners. The leg-panels are in a simple form with openwork decoration. Each apron is nailed to the leg-panels on either side. The bottom of each leg-panel is halved and inserted into the stretcher, then fixed with wooden pegs to reinforce the joints.
