Condition
Overall good condition. The Tiffany tiles with a beautiful iridized finish. One the blue tiles, shown in the front right corner of the catalogue illustration, with two stable cracks to the corners of the tile each two inches in length. These are difficult to see when viewing the piece in person, and are only visible under strong direct illumination. With some losses to the grout adjacent to two of the tiles. Minor surface scratches to the feet and standard, consistent with age and use. Some minor nicks and losses to the wood at the underside of the table, however this is not visible once the table has been righted. A good example of the form with brilliantly colored Tiffany glass tiles.
