Overall in very good original condition. A rare design dating from Wright’s Usonian period. With some shallow scratches, areas of light isolated discolorations, and some nicks and dings throughout consistent with use. . With wear to the veneer at the top corners of the tables consistent with use. At the immediate corners, each with a slightly larger loss, one measuring one inch in length. The tables show the same color and condition and are a very well matched pair. With scattered surface dirt. A very nice scale for use.
