Mahogany and mahogany veneer with white pine and yellow poplar; gilded gesso and vert antique. Dimensions not recorded. (Courtesy, Museo de Artes Decorativas, Santa Clara, Cuba.) The original cast brass gilded ornament, die-stamped brass banding, and inlaid stars and anthemions on the lower edge of the apron and the front edge of the upper leaf are all missing (see fig. 7). The hinged top may be a replacement. |
