Condition

Illustration is too red. The varnish has turned yellow; still, the ivory flowers and the green leaves remain vivid. Good overall restored condition with small dents and scratches in places. The feet have the ebonised parts redone (capitals and bases). The bowl feet are redone as well. Nevertheless, precious table for conservative estimates.
