Condition

Overall in very good condition. The surfaces of the table appear to have been recently sensitively cleaned and waxed. With a few minor surface scratches and abrasions consistent with use. The top with one minor edge loss to the top measuring ½ inch in length. A wonderful minimalist form with great sculptural presence when viewed first hand. The wood selection with deeply saturated color.
