The entire leg from the pedestal column center with fluid carved lines that come to rest at the lions claw feet; they actually quite mimic an entire lion's leg. Petite caster wheels are all but hidden under the regal sized feet. The table appears to float above the ground. So special!

Hard to nail the style as while the tiger oak is late 19th C. American, the feet are just so French, or even Italian, Spanish, etc. Would go well in many tastes. At 54" in diameter, will seat 6 comfortably.

Stamped on the underside 1898, this beauty could certainly weave some dinner time tales. In excellent antique condition. It is heavy, strong, and sturdy. Table's top shows wear as expected. There is 1 spot with an about 3 x 3 inch section where the wood is slightly uneven. The movement in the grain/tiger "stripes" camouflage all of this well. If one chose to refinish it (not necessary in my opinion) it would be near perfect as the base show little wear. less
