The carving is beautiful, fluted legs are joined by an urn adorned apron. Ribbons of foliage flow under the marble, and details abound throughout.The piece has been retouched with silver leaf on the flower of each apron as well as he petals on the center of the stretcher. This would be a welcome and rare addition to any collection.
