About the Item

An exceptionally fine Karl Johan salon table, sofa table or desk in beautiful West Indies mahogany. The top has two leaves that drop down on each side with two drawers along the apron, and is supported by a center pedestal composed of a concave beveled column that tapers up and rests on a quatre-form base with saber legs & carved lion's paw feet on casters. Classical motifs embellish the base & include carved acanthus leaves & palmettes. Features expert book-matching of the crotch-mahogany grain throughout the top and along the apron & fascia of the two drawers adding to the dramatic effect of this exquisitely crafted table.
