The top consists of lovely patinated solid pieces of teak, which has then been finished with a decorative moulding to the perimeter of the tabletop. Below, there is very pretty floral carved blind fretwork to all sides of the table. The corners are supported with the original shaped metal corner straps. Below the blind fretwork is a further and final mouled edge. Finally, the table sits on four very elegant turned and fluted legs.
These types of tables were often referred to as opium tables because people would either recline on a bed or on a floor with them and they would require a low level table to lean on or either smoke their opium from.
This vintage coffee table is not only in excellent original condition but it is unique and quirky and it would be an ideal interior decorators item.
