English translation:table with curved pedestal (base)
Explanation:
A "Wangentisch" is most often referred to as "pedestal table", so this would be another option.

Examples:

Gorgeous antique pine pedestal table made of continental European pine. Beautiful condition, circa 1850, unique oval shape with curved pedestal base, ...

I would maybe add "double (pedestal)" or the special leaf construction...

Explanation:

for the sake of clarity, rather than the conventional bow legs where there are four and they are curved top to bottom, it seems these are two legged and the curve is horizontal rather than vertical.

so perhaps an alternative could be arched or concave legs
