ABOUT THE WORK

This small round table with a narra base and a marble top would have been used as a side table in the sala of an old house. The table stands on three scrolled legs attached to a turned pedestal base with a small inverted vase topped byvase-shaped body with an astragal ring molding carved around its neck. The legs, attached to a drum at the bottom of the pedestal, are in the form of a series of graceful leafy scrolls that terminate in a volute. The top of the table consists of a circular marble slab edged with quarter-round molding. It rests on an apron with attached molding at the bottom. -Martin I. Tinio, Jr
