Condition

Overall in very good condition. The surface of the top presents with a beautifully figured wood with wonderful hues. The wood surface with some minor surface scratches, some minor edge abrasions that have been sensitively stabilized and minor surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. The metal surfaces with minor surface scratches and minor edge abrasions with associated traces of oxidation throughout. Minor surface dirt to the recessed portions of the design. A wonderful desk combining simple lines and great architectural presence. ---
