Condition
Overall very good original condition. The coffee table retains the original highly saturated coloration of the enameled patinated brass. The top with a few minor scattered surface scratches, light abrasions and minor rubbing to the patina consistent with age and gentle handling and visible in the catalogue illustration. When viewed in person the table presents with a rich texture in the background with turquoise highlights to each of the classically-inspired figures. The brass top presents with well-varied surface coloration and is distinguished by a rare asymmetrical base. A nice example with great scale and presence.
