A Variety of Marble-Topped Baker's Tables: Ugly, Attractive and Mysterious
I think those are solid legs, not extended. It should be no surprise to see the tapering and decorative groove (not sure that is a "reveal"?) on them. This was a nice piece of kitchen furniture when & where it was made.
The pasta cutting board is just stored down there. It would be placed on the top when in use. I'm not sure what that door is above the cutting board. Maybe a place to store ravioli molds or something.
I agree with your curiosity about the hump in the apron. Especially since it is so carefully rounded over on three sides. My guess is that the marble top is not original and that the original top was either two-piece or had a trap door so that bread dough could be placed down into that bin to rise.
