I fell in love with this piece as soon as I saw it. It is an oval shaped end table with one end open and the other end has 2 drawers. The drawers have brass sash like handles and on the front and back panels there are brass lion heads with rings in their mouths(look like old door knockers). The legs curve inward as they ascend and look almost like a leaf where the leg meets the body. There's an intricate design on the top of the table. The drawers have a hand written "7" on the bottom(written in "english" style - with the line thru the middle). The drawers also have no nails. It seems to be fit together like a puzzle and have some signs of glue. It looks as though the former owner painted it(antiqued it-white paint with brown over). But where the paint is peeling you can see the dark brown wood which has gold paint trim. A heavy solid item.
