Condition
Overall in very good condition. The oak surfaces throughout appear to retain their original finish, and show very minimal light surface scratches, abrasions and edge wear consistent with age and gentle use. The inset Grueby tile appears original and undisturbed. The tile is in very good condition, and displays a deep vibrant green glaze with strong visual curdling. The tile with a small old surface chip to one corner (ΒΌ inch). The grouting around the tile appears original and undisturbed, with some scattered small losses. A fine example of this iconic tile table, displaying strong figuring to the oak selection and a beautifully glazed tile with strong vibrant color.
