This table is composed of three elements of board, well joined, in each of the two parts. Underneath, a belt underlined by a net of amaranth is completed by four sheathed legs ending with square brass shoes. At the level of the belt, we find three stopped flutes. Under the table, two other legs are positioned in the central part. They are fixed under the slides to maintain the table open with its extensions. In its long length, with all its extensions, we have a system of intermediate legs that are fixed to ensure perfect stability.

Elegant and aesthetically pleasing, this oval cherry wood table features a very interesting table runner with its length and recessed legs.
