Condition
Overall in very good condition. The table is presented with two removable extension leaves which can be removed. Please contact the 20th Century Design department for photographs of the table without the leaves. The finish of the wood has been sensitively refreshed and presents with a few very minor surface scratches and minor scuffs and nicks, consistent with age and gentle use. The outer edge of the table top with a small surface scratch (approximately 3 ½ in.), only visible upon close inspection and a very minor wood infill (¼ inch in diameter). The glass top has been replaced in a manner which is consistent with the original and presents with a few faint surface scratches consistent with gentle use. The feet with some expected light fading and wear consistent with age and gentle use. A rare and early work by Jean Royere in very good condition.
