Condition
Overall in very good condition. The oak surfaces throughout appear to retain their original finish, with some occasional light surface scratches, abrasions, and minor edge wear consistent with age and very gentle use. The top is slightly faded (presumably from sun exposure), with a few small and minor scattered stains. The table is slightly lighter (a medium brown tonality) and less red than seen in the catalogue illustration. A great dynamic form.
