Condition

In overall good conserved condition. Old minor marks, chips and scratches commensurate with age and normal usage. One table has a patch to the top approx. 26cm x 4cm along the rear edge together with a smaller triangular patch. The other has had a later piece inserted approx. 4cm wide along the rear edge. There are some old restored cracks in the top and some scattered age cracks which do not detract from the piece. One of the drawers has been divided into two compartments. The veneer on the stretchers is a little dry looking and would benefit from a repolish according to taste. Possibly previously with castors.
