Condition
Overall in very good condition. The lacquered metal surfaces remain in good original condition likely with the original paint. With some scattered surface scratches and chips to the paint. Two corners of the frame present with minor abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. With light surface dirt to the metal frame consistent with age and gentle use. The wood table swivels outward and its position can be adjusted. The wood surface with light surfaces scratches, nicks and dings throughout consistent with age and gentle handling. The oak shows a rich tone throughout. The fabric upholstery has been recently replaced in a manner and material consistent with the original design, with very gentle evidence of use. The piece appears to retain all original hardware. A very nice original condition example of this iconic form.
