Acquired from the artist
Thence by descent to the present owners

Overall in very good original condition. This lot, also from the collection of the New Jersey family, is executed in walnut, which is unlike the other works from this collection offered in this auction. The walnut selected for this table is a highly figured example showing wonderful diversity of tones. Slightly lighter in color, especially when in contrast to the laurel, this table is a wonderful example of the form. With some very light surface scratches. Like the other works in the collection, this piece has been sensitively maintained and remains in very good condition showing only very gentle wear.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.

This lot is being sold with a copy of the original design drawing by George Nakashima.
