The first upper leaf is supported by 1 of the back legs which is on a mahogany hinge and swings out to provide the support. The table stands on 4 elegant legs with a quarter bracket on the top and the sides. The legs circular and tapering and finish with a simple pad foot.
Size: The height is 72 cm, the width when closed is 60 cm and the depth 30cm. When open the table is 60 cm in diameter. The apron/frieze is 9.5 cm deep.
Condition: Excellent, all original and has been lovingly cleaned and polished ready for its next home.
