Condition
Overall in very good condition. The surfaces of this table have an added later finish, which was sensitively executed. As a result, table presents with a slightly shiny appearance. With a few minor edge nicks and some occasional light surface scratches consistent with gentle use. With some minor age cracking to the top marquetry surface, which is consistent with the natural aging process and has been currently stabilized by the later finish. The legs and lower portion of this table are finely carved and add great sculptural depth to this table.
