The top has a dark brown border with a rope-like pattern around the edge. A thin metal beaded trim is underneath. The table's base is shaped like a three-leaf clover, with each leaf having a carved design on the end. The legs are adorned with gold accents and feature a claw-like foot. The central column of the table is ornately carved with gold accents. The table appears to be made of wood and has a glossy finish. The background is a plain gray color.
