Condition
Please note that this piece has been professionally waxed since the catalogue illustration was taken and many of the lighter areas of the top as seen in the photo have been eliminated. These areas were the result of dryness to the wood. There are some isolated areas discoloration to the top, the largest is a darkened circular outline measuring four inches in diameter to the centerline of the table. This is minor and visible in the catalogue illustration. There is another lighter circular discoloration, which is only visible on very close inspection. This table was made using nice book-matched boards, and the piece retains good coloration in the figuring.
