Overall very good condition. Each of the tables is slightly loose to the touch from age. The walnut is slightly dry and appears to have been overcoated at some point. Each of the tables with minor surface scratches, nicks and dings consistent with use. One table with a small ¼ inch diameter area of infill to the wooden portion of the top framing the mirrored inset. This same table with evidence of restoration to the each of the side joints where the horizontal shelf meets the vertical standard. The middle shelf with new hardware to the underside. Each joint with holes adjacent, indicating that the restoration includes some possible changes to the configuration. The other table with an age crack at the apex of the rounded portion of the frame and some minor losses to the silvering of the mirror. The top of the vertical standard with a prior restoration, including infill and stabilizing of a crack.
