The Basket has been retro-fitted at a later time with an octagonal inset glass top creating an unusual and very decorative table large enough for games, books or maybe dining. Dimensions: 49.85” wide by 36.25” deep by 32.75” high (Handle). Table surface is 16.5” high. Condition: Please see detail photos. The Table shows various signs of age including finish and gilt losses as well as some slight weaving damage to the handle however remains strong with an astonishing and exotic presentation.
