Comments:
Restored by Michael Heale. Table ornament Type V, plus triangles at upper corners, “mushrooms” at lower corners; likewise on back, plus central ornament having triangles top and bottom, “mushrooms” left and right (unique, but similar to Hebbert’s Type I), none upper and lower. Double purfling on back; hard to tell about front from photos, but seems very close to edges. (Nakahara’s rib height probably includes thickness of table and back.)
