White painted wooden vanity table on four small swivelling wheels. The table has a kidney shaped top and base and turned legs. One rectangular shelf appears to have been added about 8" above the base and is held in place with a single screw through each leg. A glass top (ARCH.2007.9.386), also kidney shaped, fits on top of the table. The table and glass top have significant paint residue, including circular prints from the bottom of paint cans, fingerprints, and drips.
