Overall very good condition. The parchment of the top and legs has been sensitively replaced in a material and manner consistent with the original design. The parchment with some minor surface scratches, discolorations and edge abrasions consistent with gentle use. There are six raised circular portions to the top which are likely hardware as they are located immediately above the feet. The metal portions of the feet with some light surface soiling to the recessed portions, rubbing and a few light surface scratches. The leather covered under stretcher with some surface scratches and a few minor discolorations. A wonderful design with a strong architectonic presence.
