Condition
Overall in very good condition. The legs of the table and isolated areas of the top with minor scratches, nicks and rubbing concentrated to the lower portion of the leg commensurate with use. One circular outine of discoloration to the top measuring approximatley four inches in diameter, visible in the catalogue illustration. The bottom of the legs on the table show minor darkening, as seen in the catalogue illustration which is consistent with age. The lacquered metal undercarriage of the table with some minor rubbing and few minor losses to the paint. A very nice smaller scale table by Prouvé, which has been in the present collection for over ten years.
