Description
Provenance
Estate of John Gruber (until 2001).

Condition
The table is in good condition with nice patina. One of the long sides of the table does not fit flush against the top of the waisted apron, probably due to slight warpage. The top of the table with a small area of faint and fine white stains resembling a pattern of little rings, but this is barely noticeable and does not detract from the attractiveness of the patina.
