Overall in very original good condition. No restoration has been undertaken on this work, which previously had been stored away since 1972. With some minor nicks and dings to the edges. With only a few scattered minor chips to the edges consistent with ages and use. The burgundy colored paint to the top surface of the table is slightly brighter than it appears in the catalogue illustration. The burgundy paint scheme also continues to the interior of the legs, like the smaller table, lot 50. Please note the dimensions of this table, as it is a large coffee table, originally intended for use with the large sectional sofa, lot 49.
