- with manufacturer's label

Condition
Overall in good original condition. This form was designed as a set of four nesting tables and the current lot is lacking the largest form. With rubbing and minor losses to the ebonized surfaces. With minor cracking, scratches, chip and isolated areas of abrasions. With cracking the tops of the tables, which has resulted in an alligatoring of the ebonized surface. Most of the minor looses to the corners and tops are likely the result of nesting and unnesing of the tables. Noticeable rubbing to the ebonizing on the legs. Two of the tables slightly wobbly, which is a natural condition of the age of the piece.
