The work table by Duncan Phyfe has a curved, semi-circular top with a smooth surface and rounded edges. A ribbed skirt covers most of its body, stopping short on the top third. Two drawers are positioned on the right side with round knobs on each. The table stands on a short, bulbous support that connects to a four-legged base. The legs are curved outward and end in carved animal feet. Small feet are attached to the bottom of each leg. The entire piece showcases a darker wood with a polished finish and no visible markings, labels, or intricate carvings beyond the legs and feet.
