This walnut table has a rectangular top resting on its base. The top surface shows a great deal of wear and is lighter in color than that of the base. The base has a deep apron with a single drawer in the center. The front of the drawer has a raised panel and a round wooden knob. The four turned legs straighten at the bottom. The legs are joined by four turned stretchers.
