Condition

Overall in very good original condition. The condition of this table demonstrates the care and attention of the prior owners. The top surface and lower portion of the legs show very shallow surface scratches and a few minor edge abrasions. Because of the freeform nature of this table some of the edges are quite thin, and there are a few minor edge chips as a result. These are very minor and only visible on close inspection. This table is a dramatic freeform sculpture when viewed in person, and truly epitomizes Nakashima's design aesthetic to maintain the natural inherent qualities of the wood. A wonderful large scale table.
