Condition
Overall in very good original condition. With some rubbing and light losses the finish, and some minor discolorations of the table, which are consistent with age. The metal work shows a slightly inconsistent finish throughout, which appears completely original. With some isolated scratches to the top of the table portion and the top of the foot. The brass ashtray with some light discoloration. This table displays the simple elegant modern lines with attention to functionality that characterize the work of Chareau. A very good complete example of this form in original condition.
