Condition
Overall in very 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. The coloration in the auction catalogue is correct for this table. This table displays a beautiful blue green patination that was original to the work. With minor irregularities in the finish and production which were inherent in the making. With some minor wear and minor losses the finish at the high points of the leaves to the top of the table, which is consistent with use.
