Condition

Overall good original condition. As seen in the catalogue illustration, there is oxidation to the top of the table, and some of the black spotted decorative scheme has been lost. The central portion of the top appears a brown color, rather than the gray metal surface which is visible to the legs. The underside of the table with evidence of oxidation and corrosion showing orange in color, scattered throughout the underside of the top. The corrosion to the metal surface is the result of the natural aging process of the material and consistent with other examples executed by the artist. The legs with minor surface scratches and some rubbing to the decorative scheme.
