Condition
Overall in very good condition. The wooden surfaces throughout appear to be over-coated with a secondary surface application. The wooden surfaces display small and minor surface scratches and a few scattered surface abrasions. The smaller three tables with a some minor edge scratches from removal and nesting of the tables. The tables individually showcase wonderfully varied and intricate decoration. The inlays throughout are in excellent condition. The tables easily nest into the arrangement show in the catalogue illustration or can be used individually. A wonderful set of these iconic Art Nouveau design.
