Condition
Good condition; the top with a minor stain to the middle and with usual minor scratches and wear; the top with an old repaired crack running with the grain and now with two old butterfly patches to the underside; one bearer appears to have been slightly repositioned in that one can see two small screw holes very close to the edge of the bearer - this possibly occurred during restoration of the top; it appears the top and base belong together as the color and figuring of the walnut as well as the overall proportions are consistent; the legs and stem with usual scratches; scuffs and bruises; nicely carved and with a good surface and color.
