DescriptionThis is a large refectory table with a drawer in each end. The top is made of two large planks, kept in place by their weight. The base of the table has four small rectangular frames carved on each side, as if to look like four drawers. The four legs are ornately carved; the curvature ends in a ball at the base. The shorter sides are connected by a bar at the bottom. These two short bars are connected in the center by a long bar that runs the length of the table.
