Condition

Overall in very good condition consistent with age and use. Showing gentle wear with minor surface scratches, some of them more pronounced mainly on the top, which is normal. The screws appear to be original. There are occasional spots of oxidation mainly near the joints under the table and not to the table top. The white leather pillows are in very good condition, the black leather covering the bottom surround of the table is original and slightly worn which is to be expected. A great example of this rare design, according to Maria Pergay there are only three existing pieces of this original design.
