The table stands on trapezoidally placed legs interconnected by simple crossbars, from which four trapezoidally arranged wooden bars are drawn under the table’s top surface. The surface and body of the table are designed in the shape of a cavetto cornice and decorated with a monochromatic ochre painting depicting a symbol of a winged sun.

The table was made in the late 19th century, during the period of the so-called Egyptian Revival when motifs from Egypt became popular in decorating and making furniture. This type of table was inspired by Thebes Stool production initiated by the company Liberty of London in 1884 based on designs of ancient Egyptian furniture. Although chairs with decorations and shapes from the city of Thebes were more commonly produced, occasionally other furniture was also made, as indicated by this stool table.
