Condition
Overall in very good condition. The table appears to have a later finish which was been applied at some point in the table's history and was sensitively executed. The wooden elements of the table with a few occasional surface scratches and minute rubbing to finish which is consistent with gentle use. The wooden circular portion of the base with some surface scratches, rubbing and minor losses to the finish at the immediate edges. The brass element of the base with some discoloration consistent with the natural aging process of the material. The inset fabric top of the table is later and is executed in a gray suede. A likely later fitted glass top has been added to the table to protect the fabric top from wear. The glass with a few occasional shallow surface scratches. A nice example of this rare form.
