Condition

Very good overall condition. The wood surface with some light surface scratches and minor edge abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. Minor surface dirt to the recessed areas. The brass top with a slightly shinier finish than it appears in catalogue illustration. The brass surfaces with some light scratches, consistent with gentle use. The top with a few stains, light surface soiling and discolorations, consistent with use. The feet with a few minor stains and traces of use. A strong example of a dynamic design and harmonious combination of materials.
