Condition

Overall in very good original condition. This table not only comprises a superbly figured top, as seen in the catalogue illustration, but is paired with a beautifully colored base. The overall presentation of this piece in person is far stronger than it appears in the catalogue illustration. With a few isolated shallow surface scratches, consistent with gentle use. This piece has been sensitively maintained and the current condition of the work shows that care.
