The brass leaf-like motifs on the pulls are common to the style. Many demilunes did not have storage because of their slim silhouette, making this one rare. The clean, symmetrical lines and curves, create a pleasing look, even though the overall design is quite complex. It would look great in a bedroom, hallway, or even sitting area.
To transform the demilune into a round tea table, the gateleg needs to be positioned perpendicular to the front leg of the demilune, with brass pulls on each side before the first leaf is lowered onto the bracket while forming a 90-degree angle to the table base to create a round tea table made of two lustrous mahogany half circles. There is a slight gap between the two leaves forming which is normal due to its age.
The table has been restored by a professional conservator to optimal condition for its age and is ready to be enjoyed to the fullest!
