Pair of Unusual Brass Decorated Coffee or End Tables

A rare find in these very unusual tray-top coffee tables or end tables. Black lacquer with hand-painted leaves and berries on the legs; note that all legs are doubled. Gilt trim on all sides. The tray is solid brass with two handles and screws into the frame, so when you lift the trays with both handles, they stay in place. A brass gallery surrounds the trays (conversation pieces). $1,248 per set.
