Frits Henningsen

Overall very good condition. With a few light surface scratches, nicks, and dings to the wooden the surfaces consistent with age and gentle handling. The ceramic tops are in excellent condition and present with beautifully varied texture and coloration. When viewed in person the ceramic inlaid tops present with deeper slate blue and gray tones rather than the gray tones seen in the catalogue illustration. The rich figuration of the rosewood provides a beautiful contrast in color as well as texture to the ceramic tops.
