Condition
Good overall condition.
Scratches, minor dents and a few light scuffs scattered, especially along the edges of the top and on the feet, all consistent with age and use.
Several previous restorations on the marquetry of the top. The wood has been re-varnished.
The quality of the marquetry of the top is rather weak in comparison with the high quality of the carved feet.
This model of table is currently documented as having been designed circa 1904. Hence, it is unlikely that the date and signature on the top can be original.
