Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The table with some minor surface scratches, and edge nicks consistent with age and use. As seen in the catalogue illustration, there is a minor loss to the paint at the top of the table measuring ¼ inch in length, which reveals the white under paint. The underside of the table with a pencil drawing the table form adjacent to the van Groenekan brand. A very good example of this iconic model within the designer’s oeuvre.
