Condition

Overall in excellent condition. This piece has been sensitively maintained by the owner and the present condition of the table reflects that care and attention. With top with some minor fading to one end as a result of sun exposure. With some very light surface scratches consistent with age and use. The table with nice freeform edges and dramatic figuring throughout. This table is a large scale work, able to accommodate 10 people comfortably. A wonderful large scale example displaying the best details of Nakashima's intricate cabinetry paired with a wonderful wood selection.
