Condition
Overall in very good condition. The surfaces of this table have an added later finish, which was sensitively executed. As a result, table presents currently with a slightly shiny finish. With a few minor edge nicks and scratches consistent with age and use. The top with some occasional light surface scratches also consistent with gentle use. Certain isolated portions of the decorative scheme to the top with minor age cracks to the wooden inlays. The later finish in these isolated minor areas is gently uneven and with light cracking. The decorative schemes of both marquetry tops are finely executed and remain in very good condition.
