the finely figured top with moulded pie-crust edge
Condition
A superb example. The top with later fixing scews and an old split which is not imeadiately obvious (12cm. long). Finely figured with some natural movement to the timber and some very minor marks. Would benefit from a sensitive clean and polish to taste. Some ingrained old marks and stains to carved detail. The legs very well executed and one with a small old patch and one with a small split, again hard to discern.
