Library Table with Snake-Motif, early 19th Century

A large library table with six drawers and a trefoil stand with three sabre legs and a central column. A carved, gold-patinated swan's neck wraps around the column. The round table top is made of radially veneered burl wood with a sun symbol at the centre and a wreath of leaf ornaments. The drawer fronts are also inlaid with leaf motifs. The table has been restored and polished by hand.
