Recently structurally revised for lasting stability and gently polished with wax, this piece remains solid, sturdy, and true to its Napoleonic heritage—highlighting superb craftsmanship and timeless design. - Origin: Provence, France - Dimensions: W 41.25" x D 23.75" x H 38.25"/ table top 29.5" - apron clearance 21.25" - Condition: Structurally restored and gently polished, the table shows minor signs of age and prior use consistent with its natural patina.
