The freeze is inlaid with a band of curly satinwood that has line inlay above and a small patterned inlay below. The tops of the legs are inlaid with crotch satinwood or birch with light and dark stringing.

Condition

The finish has an all over somewhat crystalized finish that is even except for an area of the top that may have had something a bit hot on it. The brass hinges may be replacements. The top does have a slight warp.

It has a minor amount of dings and finish disturbances that would be normal for a very well cared for table.
