Condition
Overall in very good condition. The surfaces of each of the tables have an added later finish, which was sensitively executed. As a result, each table presents with a slightly shiny appearance. Each table with a few minor edge nicks and some occasional light surface scratches also consistent with gentle use and nesting. The inlaid marquetry decorative scheme varies on each table top and remains in very good condition.
