French Provincial Tea Table with Drawer

This elegant tea table was crafted of in late-19th-century France in the Louis XV-style, defined by its scalloped apron and thin cabriole legs. The s-form legs curve outwards from the top with dramatic flare, then taper gently to narrow hoof feet with a cross-hatched texture. The wavy line of the scalloped apron is traced by a beaded edge that flows down each leg. The thin rectangular top is formed of multiple boards and finished with a molded edge and rounded corners. Fitted with two shallow drawers on near sides, the table works just as well in the corner as it does floating in the center of a room.
