Artcurial Paris, October 7, 2014, lot 448

Condition

Overall in very good condition. The surfaces throughout with scattered rubbing, discoloration, dirt, marks and scratches concentrated to the edges of each table top and bases of the legs, consistent with age and gentle use. A segment of one leg has been sensitively professionally stabilized. Two legs on the same lengthwise side with tight hairline cracks near the ‘X’ form, visible on close inspection; these cracks run into the plaster and would benefit from professional restoration. One hoof with a small chip to the bottom edge measuring approximately 1/2 inch wide. Another hoof with a small chip to the bottom edge measuring approximately 1 inch wide. A third hoof with a small chip to the bottom edge measuring approximately 1/4 inch wide. A playful and anthropomorphic example of 1970s design.
