This beautiful five-piece sectional table – comprising two semi-round cabesera tables with frieze drawers and three rectangular sections—can be easily extended or shortened as needed. The restrained use of inlay and the delicate-looking legs indicate an early example. The legs are skillfully hand-carved with elegant turnings and reedings, terminating in finely shaped bobbin feet.
