Condition
Overall in good original condition. The works executed for the Gardens at Colonial Williamsburg were used around an outdoor garden and therefore the patination and exposure to the elements have slightly impacted the patination throughout. With losses to the patination through the top and base of the table, which shows more of the natural brown metal tone, which is accurately portrayed in the catalogue illustration. With some scattered surface dirt and rubbing to the patina, consistent with age, use and exposure to the elements. The piece remains in stable and has few small areas of white discoloration to the table top.
