It features a large rectangular wooden top with a molded, slightly overhanging edge, resting on two powerful, sculpted legs in the form of facing winged griffins.

Each support consists of two back-to-back fantastical creatures with expressive heads, outstretched wings, and powerful paws ending in large claws.

The entire piece rests on molded rectangular bases.

The design is directly inspired by the classical and neoclassical repertoire, the griffin being a particularly popular motif in architectural and furniture designs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.

Thanks to its generous dimensions and the sculptural presence of its base, this table can be used as a dining table, a large console table, or a serving table in a classic or contemporary interior.
